    Another lesson from history- being a combat veteran, even a decorated & experienced one, does not a good general make.

    GROFAZ Schicklgruber being one of the great examples.

    PS: I’ve read Mack Bolan novels with better planning than this farce had.

    Ed Calderon of Ed’s Manifesto called this the “Fyre Festival” of “attempted coups”. I think he’s pretty close, maybe slightly less deliberate and slightly more naive.

    More or less bizarre than the AR-57 in one of the other photos?

    More given that the pistol braces were not attached to pistols.

    That's fair - I just thought it was bizarre to see an AR-57 under any circumstance at all, let alone one being used "professionally."

    This whole thing is fishy. If you're gonna boogie in another country, you don't have to worry about the NFA. Why are they carrying so many Shockwave blades? 100 round drum mags? Those weigh like 6 lbs loaded.

    ...and out of the guns pictured, at least one of them doesn't even have an optic.

    And who in the hell picked out those mask's?
    Sorry, those mask's don't scream "quiet professional" in any known language.
