please tell me though that these guys were not for real...now that is quite scary if so....
Sadly, there are; we used to have one in my old unit. The guy was a nut, trying to convince us that he was in the "Mortal Combat underground"! He had his own personal body armour he bought from gods knows where, and never went anywhere without his replica glock painball gun, and assorted "movie authentic scary knives". The guy was kicked out of the military for a number of reasons I won't bother getting into. I saw him about 2 years later, and he was working as, you guessed it, a mall security guard. Wearing a newer version of body armour, same Glock paintball gun, several smaller knives, batons, pepper spray, and so on, and walking like he thought he was Rambo meets the Terminator! He saw me and started chatting about how it was just a temporary gig, bacause the LEOs were "begging him to join up and help clean the city". Funny, I saw him again about a month or two ago; he's working as a cashier at Wal-Mart! And I swear, I think he's still wearing the plates under that blue vest! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
What a tool! I swear though, I half expect to read in the newspaper that he climbed a tower or something with a scoped rifle and went bonkers or something.
So be careful of these guys, some of them really aren't all there.*Like I had to state the obvious, eh?*
