He probably didn't see that coming.

Something like that has to be a huge red flag for how much the crew thinks of the CO; they can save your ass if they like you buy also let you bury yourself if they don't, and give a subtle nudge here and there.

I was about to say something similar. There is no way he put that scope on the rifle, himself. Somebody did it that way, on purpose, to send a message.

Yup…

I’d also like to point out that his M4 RAS wasn’t on the carbine correctly either.


The top (3/4 of it) section wasn’t locked on the barrel nut and thus the top section and the Left and Right are pointing downward not in axis with the bore.

Correctly installed M4RAS below.




Honestly it says a lot about him and the crew that he was allowed to pose like that.
