…ain’t no other pony troll down like me. I’m twilightlicious!

| July 18, 2012

I guess you guys want to talk about this because I’ve had three links emailed in the last five minutes. I don’t know what to say, actually. There’s a club for military fans of “My Little Pony”. “Jon Not to Be Confused with Jonn” and “SIGO” emailed this link to us from Fox News which tells us that they call their little club “War Horses”;

So-called “Bronies,” adult men who are fans of the TV show “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic,” have apparently been around at least since 2010, when the Hasbro-owned cartoon first aired. Within their ranks are “Military Bronies,” service members from all branches of the military who share their love of the show and wear the “cutie mark” – a Rainbow Dash patch on their uniforms, Army Times first reported.

Here’s the “cutie mark” as it should be properly displayed, I suppose, from Military Times’ Outside the Wire (the link was emailed by our buddy Jeff Schogol) as modeled by (whatelse) a Navy air crew member;

They have their own website; FOB Equestria. I guess it’s harmless, but…jeez.

ADDED: Our buddy Jeff Schogol writes at the Air Force Times about the bronies.

For those of you wondering what you’re going to get ROS for Christmas, she says she wants this, one of each I’m guessing. Birthin’ all of those sons of hers has made her girlie;

What else would you buy for a horse doctor woman?

very confused

Did I stumble onto the Duffel Blog?

I’m surprised those, er, “guys”, weren’t wearing THIS outfit.

I know a couple of gay guys and they said “that’s fucking gay!!!”

PintoNag

@53 OH. MY. GOD.

That made its way around our NCO forum AW1 Tim. Talk about some hate and discontent. We had at least one guy convinced though that it was going to be a real uniform. Now that was effing hilarious.

AW1 Tim

Oh yeah…. same with my guys. I thought it was beyond funny. 🙂

I know what the fuck…Bronies in the military. I had a giant Hello Kitty painted on my Husky, but that was totally different. 😀 These freaks are the downfall of the military next thing we know furies will want to join…

Just Plain Jason

Now honestly given the choice, I know this is going to open a whole new bag of worms, I would rather have dude rolling with My Little Pony than nazi imagery any day. Yeah I may not “get” the ss flag that the scout snipers were posing with, but I totally would have laughed my ass off if some bad ass scout snipers were posing with a Hello Kitty flag. They are badass and they don’t have to prove shit, they are cool anything else just makes them look like a dick. Kinda like a badass who picks a fight with a dude he knows he can beat. In a way this shows people they are so cool with their uncoolness they just don’t care. Me I am cool with the fact I love nerdy shit, hell I just got into watching Doctor Who and if I can find one I am going to put a my other car is a Tardis sticker on my Bronco.

Btw…unif

Btw…uniform stuff yeah it’s not cool. While deployed it was funny to see dudes with fobbit tabs, shitbag name tapes, etc… Sometimes shit to just beak up the monatony of a year long deployment.

Oh another thing…furries are just fucked up.

Spade

Should I hate them more than furries? Because I hate furries.

NHSparky

People dressing up in Star Wars costumes don’t seem so strange now, do they?

No, they’re still pretty fucked up, right along with furries, but thankfully most of them won’t breed.

Just Plain Jason

Sparky are you jealous that you lived the closest thing to star trek, but underwater and no sexy green women?

melle1228

As a mom, if you are an adult man obsessed with my little ponies- I am going to have to wonder if you are a pedophile…

Just Plain Jason

Spade you are correct furries are weird…and really fucked up.

Green Thumb

Unfortunately this is what the Army is coming too.

The focus now is on individualism, and not winning.

Sad but true.

Pathetic.

Well, don’t be picking on the “bronies” wearing rainbows over at the AFTimes. The commenters there have no tolerance for the intolerant who stand up to those breaking regulations to prove tolerant manlihood.

Personally, it looks to me that “bronies” is the new rainbow sticker, or “equal” sticker.

If you play dressup, whether Trekkie, Star Wars, or Brony, you’re a little off your rockers. If your obsession is kids shows (for your own amusement, rather than the tolerance of your kids), you’re a lot off your rockers.

If you think that your obsession (with girls cartoons) rates you above Uniform Regulations (670-1 in the Army/Guard), then you need to find a new line of work.

There is only ONE reason a Dude should be watching MLP: his daughter(s) got to the remote first.

Other wise turn in your man card.

This is like a horrible joke, some of fucking guys crack me up. The military is coming to an end because some dimbasses. Holy Shit get a fucking grip. If we are “losing” it sure a shit isn’t because of a specialist at a fucking convention. It is because of an asshat politician. Doesn’t seem anyone had a problem with it except someone outside his coc. They will or will not deal with it, other wise if it isn’t hurting the military then why the fuck should we really worry. Honestly you know what is hurting the mIlitary…the current drawdown that is going to give the boot to a bunch of combat experienced troops, but some of you are worried about some guys who you may think are weird? Get a grip on what is really important.

I think this is an offense punishable by castration. If not, it should be…. WTF.

I’m with Melle.

Secret pedos club. Pedos OUT!!!!

And I thought the guys wearing paper clips on their poopy suits or dungarees was fucked up.

For those unfamiliar: PAPER CLIP-People Against People Ever Reenlisting Civilian Life Is Preferred.

I know, I know, I’m dating myself.

@53 Tim: we need a similar photo of a sailor in a pink version of that funky-looking dungaree uniform that the Navy foisted on its folks. Y’know,the one that makes a sailor blend in superbly with the water when he falls overboard, so no one can spot him/her.

Pink would make him/her stand out better and have a better chance of being rescued. heh

This group looks like a public service announcement against using Spice. I’m waiting for the cutie tattoes.

In all fairness to them…from the military bronies facebook page…

I want to make one thing clear. Regardless of how easy it is for others to claim this, we DO NOT promote wearing of unauthorized patches, badges or insignia on your uniform. I know that every branch in the US has a uniform regulation that prohibits such things, and we stand behind that regulation. I’m also certain that other countries have similar regulations. We do not recommend you do ANYTHING that goes against the regulations of your branch of service. Sorry to rant on that, but it’s been stated by some that we all do this and I wanted to clarify that this is NOT the case.

Green Thumb

Tools.

Squid Wiz

Can you hear that? Its the sound of Chesty Puller rolling over in his grave from the post “Semper Filly”

Nicki

If you are a man – any man, not just a Soldier – and you are into this Brony movement, please immediately remove your testicles and exchange them for a leather thong and Hello Kitty prostate stimulator.

This shit makes a Richard Simmons impersonator convention hosted by RuPaul look masculine and sane.

Redacted1775

Creepy. Like NAMBLA/Pedobear creepy. Chris Hansen is lurking on this one. Bet on it.

headhuntersix

There’s a word for this in the english language..it starts with a G and ends with a Y.

Doc Bailey

Revoking man cards is just not enough

Mike

Uh, hey, it’s a joke.

Don’t get all bent over it.

Men Of War MC

To ALL who do this, and support it. Rip dick from root, place in pottery kiln.

Redacted1775

I don’t know, they look awfully serious about my little pony.

Old Trooper

WTF are “furries”??? Is that something else that I have to be aware of, besides the pole smokers wearing MLP shit?

headhuntersix

When TSO was with us we tried to freak him out over furries.
I only know what they are from a very disturbing CSI episode…its seared onto my brain. Apparently people wear animal costumes and may or may not have sex. The concept has freaked out our IG…I’m working on getting a giant “Snarf” costume to completely drive him off the edge.

Steadfast&Loyal

The Mayans were right.

It is the end of the world.

Nicki

I say this is way more disturbing than furries!

headhuntersix

Dressing up in a giant animal suit takes alot more work…..

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

The Pony thing is werid. The Furrie business is bad news and has invaded, of all places, New Jersy. See attached article. The Furries rented out a local volunteer ambulance company space and lets just say “the fur was flying.”

I thought people at fantasy conventions were strange.

I am now enlightened. People at any large gathering with a common theme are strange.

I remember those company picnics….was that? Oh, never mind. It was a while back.
