While airsoft aint exactly my thing, when I returned from my first tour, we landed in Maine to go through customs, and for some ungodly reason we parked a ways away from the terminal and had to walk to it...
There were 5 or 6 different airsoft teams standing outside, in the subfreezing temp, just to shake our hands and thank us for our service. Apparently they had cancelled their tourny when they found out we were coming back from 12 months in Iraq.

Like I said, it aint my thing, but to each his own, and while it might seen a little childish....I guess its still a hobby.

As long as they realize that they are still pussys... :twisted: :twisted:
They could of done one better and stood outside the recruiters office to sign on the dotted line. One morning in the cold doesn't earn that uniform.

How many of them prolly went to the airport and mixed with the families and support elements as though they were the actual soldiers, just to try and reap some benefit?

I feel the same way. No harm, no foul - provided they don't fake being real military when they're not "playing".

These guys are playing at the same local airport as the gal a few weeks ago being featured as a US Army competitor in the Miss America pageant.
