Meh, there are bad fucking pretenders out there, like those guys in rainblow, and people who take this way too seriously, but, reading that article (ACTUALLY READING) <- For anyone who posts next.
It appears this one was a slow news day.
The article is deliberately inflammatory, and provides mostly an outlet for a real good hometown "Bitch'n sess'n"
The guys explained what actually happened, even apologized, and provided evidence the game was held, and participated in, by many prior/current service members.
I would love to see this game return to the days of "fun with my pellet gun" but, it does appear the new ranks have risen, and people will do whatever they want to for attention, see the rise of the "supr Mylsym" clubs we see.
Don't have a combat shirt in AOR? Dang, I didn't know I was better then you, thanks for letting me know!
This is the dark side of the fashionsofters/larpers. Dunno.
