Who knew a suicide bomber costume would be a problem?

| November 2, 2015

I got about a hundred tips this weekend to this story about an unnamed soldier who thought that trick-or-treating on Fort Bragg dressed a suicide bomber would be perfectly acceptable.

The costume prompted a gate to be cleared and a response from an explosive ordnance disposal team, Fort Bragg said. The costume included a simulated explosive vest. “Costumes of this sort are not allowed on Fort Bragg,” the base said in a statement.

“The senior commander of Fort Bragg further directs that soldiers not wear costumes of this sort off post and strongly encourages soldiers, DA civilians, and family members to follow the same guidance to prevent similar issues within our neighboring communities,” the statement said.

I don’t see the problem. I mean, this administration has made us safe from terrorists and the war against terror has ended, so this can be funny again, right?

I’m gonna go and paint the front 2 inches of my 1911A1
orange, so I do not scare anybody.

Living proof, the Army takes those with the losest I.Q. available!! stupid ass, what did he think was going to happen?

OldManchu

If he was Muslim he would be at the White House today with the traitor-in-chief for a celebratory root beer. That is, if Moochele hasn’t drank it all yet.

He should have just said it was a clock. Then he would have been invited to the White House and the entire US Army would have to go through sensitivity training.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

Thank God he didn’t wear that IDF costume Wal*Mart was selling. Would’ve heard from the president then…

Ex-PH2

Is this Dumb & Dumber week or something, and nobody told me?

Skippy

Ft Bragg is starting to make me wonder now this and it seems 2 months ago some moron went to the mall with a M-4 to get his pic Taken. that caused a active shooter incident… LMAO…

OAE CPO USN Ret

So, no comments from the pResident on this guys fashion sense? No calls from clothing designers?

CCO

Wow. I was in with some real yahoos, but I don’t know if any of them would have that–not *now*. (And yeah, there was that one time I was a problem child myself; shouldn’t have hit that switch w/o checking with the people at the other end. Duress switch; my bad.)

Oh well, somebody’s got to cut the grass. Lot’s of grass at Ft. Bragg; probably hasn’t frosted hard yet; leaves to rake for certain.

HMCS (FMF) ret.

Painting rocks… digging ditches… and a whole slew of shitty little details that need to be taken care of

I’m sure there are lots and plenty of dandelions that need to be pulled out of the PT fields as well as plenty of grass and weeds to be pulled out of the sidewalks, and now there’s someone to do Police Call all weekend long!!

Thunderstixx

Some First Sergeant is going to take a big chunk of his ass!!!
That’s funny, stupid troop !!!
Damn I would love to hear Top tear him a new asshole !!!

The Other Whitey

I’m a little torn. On the one hand, what a dumbass! On the other, well, it IS kinda funny.

I’d say the Soldier in question should’ve gave some more thought to the whole “time and place” concept. A party where everybody knows him? Fine. The base gate where he’s just one of 20,000 dudes they see on a given day? Uh…no.

The article I read said that charges could be filed. While I agree that the kid needs to have some better judgement beaten into him, isn’t that what NCOs are for? It would be rather excessive to ruin his life over a fucking Halloween costume.

SFC D

What do you charge him with, Felony Dumbassery?

B Woodman

Naaahh. Just Misdemeanor Dumbassery.

Skippy

DUMB-A$& that’s all

PFM

Hate to be this kid’s 1SG/CO right about now…

A Proud Infidel®™

Now he’s “THAT GUY” that others in his unit and Post will still talk about years later! Yeah, he made himself into a huge case of heartburn for his CoC and NCO Chain, and I’m sure they won’t let him forget that anytime soon.

bahahahaha…
yes the current PC police approve this as a Halloween
this message was approved by the DNC… and Obummer

costume after Halloween damn it

USAF Ret

Reminds me of the time at Osan AB Korea (1982-83 ish) it was also Halloween and 2 of the helicopter pilots from the Rescue Sq came to me and asked if I could make them up for Halloween. They wanted me to put on simulated wounds, cuts and bruises, because they wanted to go to the O-club Halloween party in costume as a “Crashed and Rescued F-4 crew”. They even had torn flightsuits with nametags: “F. Puke” and “J. Wizzo”.
They got thrown out of the party rather quickly, seems that the Jollys there thought it was funny; but the fast movers just could not take a joke.

But that is the trouble with the Rescue units; they were always “guests” on the Bases. The fast movers always owned them.

Well they ended up downtown in their costumes and many beers were bought for them at the Jolly Bar.

C2Show

Just left there about a month or two ago. I am going to guess it was either Reilly Gate or All American Gate. Not too surprising coming from some army guys I use to see around there.

C2Show

Correction, Budner gate or Reilly Gate.

David

(sigh) – seems like there’s always someone who has to learn the hard way that just because you think it’s cool, does not mean that those above you in your chain of command will. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Thunderstruck

The guy was just doing it to get attention. I would have NJPd this guys ass back to recruit.

MSG Eric

Well, according to South Park’s funny timeline, he needs to wait 22.3 years before it is okay.

To continue the current commentary:

If he said he was a gay bomber who considered himself a woman sherpa delivering clocks to everest climbers, he’d be invited to the white house for being brave.

2/17 Air Cav

I guess he didn’t get the memo. I think it’s funny as shit.

L. Taylor

Dimwit soldier tires to enter a military gate in a suicide bomber costume..,

thus Obama is a terrible president.

Because, This Ain’t Hell logic.

Ex-PH2

Shut up, lars.

If you don’t shut up and people go after you for what you said, you brought it on yourself.

A Proud Infidel®™

OOHH there-there now, Pinky- fluffy-poo! You should have learned LONG AGO that if you want some Kool-Aid and a group hug like you get from your fellow moonbats that THIS AIN’T THE PLACE FOR THAT, ‘lil Jiffy-poo!! 😀

The Other Whitey

Jesus H. Christ, Lars…

Do you ever listen to yourself? Seriously! I know you’re a troll, but you couldn’t even say something related to the actual topic?

Skippy

Lars please look at my he link and yes that’s the way they think.
That’s All Lars

Skippy

The link…. and not my he link

A Proud Infidel®™

Lars “Pinky” Taylor, one who enjoys making himself a human dart board!!

B Woodman

If Lars is “Pinky”? Then who is “The Brain”?

(. . . they’re laboratory mice,
their genes have been spliced. . . . )

Ex-PH2

Okay. Lars has finally proved himself to be the social moron we all knew he is. I suggest, since he wants attention so desperately, that he find himself a counselor who needs the money, even if said counselor gets bored silly listening to the whining, and get all that SH and IT of his out of his system.
Otherwise, Lars should spend some quality time with his mirror. It’s the only thing in the world that will agree with him.

A Proud Infidel®™

“Pinky” Lars obviously enjoys making himself a human dart board or pincushion, it gives him the attention fixes that he craves from time to time. If he acted the way he does now when he was the MI Officer he claims to have been, then I’m sure they got rid of him in the first wave of cuts. Remember him screeching that I must have been a throwaway E4? “Projection”…

2/17 Air Cav

Speaking of the Scrotum Shaver, I hear that the unnamed soldier’s first choice of costume was a dick suit with protruding ears but the shop had rented them all out.

Commissioner Wretched

No, Lars, Obama is a terrible president all by himself.

This moron in the costume? Just a diversion.

Tony180a

Wow he definitely just earned the special treatment for special people tab. Ahhhh the pine cones he’ll be picking and Sicily DZ could always use a no cigarette butt left behind police call.

Ex-PH2

How about he spends his spare time working at a VA, taking flowers and books to patients, and cleans the wards in the base hospital where the trauma patients are staying?

Pinto Nag

Reminds me of the guy who ran around in a wooded area in a Bigfoot costume a few years ago. Hunter bagged him. Oops.

David

I liked the woman in Maine who wanted the members of her anti-hunting group to go out in the woods, dressed in brown, during hunting season. Apparently she wanted to provoke an incident. The member so her group apparently didn’t want to provoke one quite that badly.

Thunderstixx

This is just funny as hell !!!
Leave it to our good friend and trollop La(myheadisupmyassandIcan’tseeanythingorbreathe)rs to try to pour a bucket of warm spit on the fire !!!
Funny as hell, like I said earlier I would love to be near when Top rakes his ass up!!!

Thunderstixx

Right after AIT I went to Ft Wainwright after my 30 day leave. I went with a couple of guys that graduated with me as grunts from Ft Polk so we were friends already.
The two of them told me they were going AWOL and asked me if I wanted to go. Of course I said no so they went anyway.
When they came back Top pulled me down to his office along with both of them and had me sit outside the office.
He put garbage cans over their heads and started banging on them as he screamed obscenities and other stuff which I never knew existed at that early stage of my life.
the whole thing lasted about 30 minutes and I was scared as hell. He turned them loose to the MP’s, came out of his office and asked me in a not so polite question if I knew anything about them going AWOL before they left.
that was the exact split second that I learned about the Army sleep, in that, I told him no and that I was sound asleep when it happened !!!!!
God it was funny to hear that !!! Of course I didn’t think so at the time but looking back it was hilarious!!!
They were both bawling like babies when they left in handcuffs and I never saw them again.
I must have been as white as a bowl of bleached white rice from a Chinese restaurant.
I am really surprised I didn’t piss myself !!!
Damn, those were the days.

Green Thumb

I am sure the Army will promote this guy immediately.

A Proud Infidel®™

Now all that farthead has to do is say he has converted to jizzlam and *POOF!*, it’s all the fault of the evil intolerant Army and he’ll have his invitation to the White House in no time flat!!

It was just a clock he invented.
