You know the type: he stands ever-vigilant to engage in total flame war with anyone over anything that challenges his self-appointed status of Guardian of his little corner of the Internet. Unless it’s something YOU said. In his mind, you can do no wrong.
His kit is completely new, completely clean, completely doctrinally accurate, and 100% better quality than yours. He has a mannequin sporting your nametape set up in his bedroom… and doesn’t think that’s the slightest bit creepy. No bit of minutiae escapes him; he knows more about your equipment, your (unclassified) mission sets, and your unit’s official history than you do.
But he never served a day in your unit, or in a uniform for that matter. Well, not in a uniform that wasn’t bought online anyway. His knowledge of any topic is only Wikipedia deep, and he doesn’t have the slightest idea of how things really work in your outfit, but damn he’s the best looking Airsofter out there.
He is the scourge of military social networking sites and Special Operations professionals in every nation and every branch of service. It has been this way since the dawn of war.
He is: The Special Operations Fanboy. This is his creed.
