The Marine Corps schooled the Navy over social media Wednesday after the sea service uploaded a photo of an officer firing an improperly configured rifle.
The Navy posted to its official Instagram account a now-deleted photo of Cmdr. Cameron Yaste, skipper of the guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain, holding a rifle and looking through a scope that was clearly mounted backward.
The weapon’s foregrip was also mounted strangely, positioned closer to the gun’s center than its barrel. More
WHEN DOES AMERICA GET THE MESSAGE???
UNDER CARTER, MILITARY WAS ABYSMAL
UNDER CLINTON, TERRIBLE AND EMBARRASSING
UNDER THE BLACK MESSIAH, A DISASTER
UNDER BIDEN, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING LEFT???
IF YOU CARE ABOUT DEFENSE, STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT, FFS
“This is why we have Marines on ships.”
I thought it was so the navy guys always had somebody to dance with.
All my ex-Marine buddies loved that joke.
Lucky he shot it without turning the rifle around to get the proper view through the scope.
Would be a good way to save on ammo usage though.
Stick to boating sailor.
If it’s the photo I saw, that skipper was also carefully peering through closed lens caps.
It reminds me of the White Hut. Joey gets photographed looking as dumb as usual or doing something as stupid as usual and I think, OK, that’s to be expected from a senile, demented, lying pedophile.
But then that photograph gets published! That means that every damned soul everywhere in the path that photo took let it go right on by. And THAT’s what leaves me dumbfounded. THEY’RE ALL AS STUPID AS INBRED BASSET HOUNDS!
He’s also holding the rifle all wrong.
” skipper of the guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain”
It kinda makes sense now.
In all fairness, he is the skipper of the USS John McCain. The reverse ace war hero.
Hopefully the Navy will never name a ship after john effin kerry. Isn’t naming a ship after Harvey Milk a notorious queer bad enough.
The USS McCain wasn’t named after the a-hole we all know and hate, but his father.
Dr. Hambone
You maybe right. However I know that Senator John McCain has a ship named after him. I’m not researching it tonight.
Dr, Hammy
OK, I lied. You’re wrong. But not your fault.

@ Uncle Al- the level of incompetence and/or laziness that led to the photo being posted is off the charts. That, or this is what a peacetime fragging looks like. I wonder if Cmdr. Cameron Yaste is well liked and respected aboard his ship.
So the Military is like the private sector.
Ask that Twattybush Mary Barra how to get to the spark plugs on half of her little shit boxes that GM makes.
It looks like Annapolis, West Point etc. needs to put their Officers in the Shit with infantry for a lot longer before becoming executives instead of studying DEI & Gender accommodation.
It’s even worse in Canuckistan
Well, keep in mind, this is the Military that the Progressive DEMOCRATS WANT TO USE TO KILL YOU. Just sayen.
The Commander didn’t wonder why things looked further away when he looked through the scope?
The Navy has become an organization of special groups and favors, unless you CO decides they don’t like you. Then it’s all about knee capping your quals and making things miserable.
One of my boys was in the Navy during Barry’s terms and bootcamp was the best part.
After he was at sea on a carrier he came out of the Navy racist and bitter.
DEI has been the norm for yrs.
Here, Skipper, check out these binoculars. Pretty cool, eh? Oh, hey, sir, you forgot to take the lens caps off… Ah, sir, you’re looking through the big end. Turn them around. No, sir, I’m not kidding!
What’s ip with the air and sea services sporting land camo now? I guess if you get shot down or run your ship aground—and that is more likely than ever in Biden’s military—it might come in handy.
wuz he wearing his crocs? did he recite the dei commandments before attempting this? wuz it because of yt-soup-remacy?
As far as the naming of which McCain it was after, does it even matter.
Daddy helped facilitate the abysmal disaster that was McCain Jr.
Just to be fair, he’s used to guided projectiles.
Jesus wept..
That “photo” is a poor photoshop job. The scope is not in a true scope mount. Yeah, it looks like the mess it is.
