Military doesn't do that, that's for cops after they get out of the military.

Oh, so who was the guy in digital camo standing next to the grey armored vehicle doing that?

Because im pretty sure that wasn't a cop; he looked like he might've actually know how to use his gun.

Edit: did not see crayons, but it was a few hours after lunch and there was a pretty nice art supply store nearby.

National Guard maybe? Officially they are not military though. Edit: Yes they are I was wrong sorry

National Guard ARE part of the military, they wear U.S. military uniforms and are deployed to U.S. invaded and occupied countries like Iraq.

They are officially civilians, no? I know they can be called up into active service but outside of that...

They do both. The band "We gargle military balls" made a song about it.
