Why do any of you believe that an image of some day dude in fatigues with a black sun tattoo and goddamn jpeg artifacting has anything to do with the IDF?

I mean fuck the IDF, but this is just shitty propaganda

Do you know of another armed force with olive drab linen bdu's?

some day dude in fatigues

I'm gonna give you the benefit of a doubt that this wasn't meant to say "some gay dude" but I would love to know what it was intended to be.

Honestly, no idea. If we are guessing, I would put money in it actually being intended as "random." My phones autocorrect be wild.

This was on ddg, didn't have to look super hard. No idea who it is, which is the point I'm making.

That's a colorized black and white photo from ≈1940-50.

Also those are not linen uniforms.

Maybe you're an expert on these things. Hell, you are likely right. I still stand by the point that people are ready to pile on this and accept it without critical thought because it fits their preconceived notions.

Its easy enough to order fatigues online, and there are plenty of Nazis willing to cosplay as military (or are/were military).

All you need to do is reverse search to find it's colorized.

Sure, it just happens to be the exact Israel uniform.
