Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 10, 2025 Posted July 10, 2025 I won't be wearing my Balmoral any time soon after the revelations that Officers, NCOs and enlisted have been part of a group calling themselves The Blue Hackle Mafia. The shame they have brought to the Regiment is beyond belief.
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 10, 2025 Posted July 10, 2025 The first 2 articles i found about this seemed like overreacting to stupid, young, bored soldiers doing stupid, young, bored soldier things. Mildly offensive, but nothing really damnning. Stuff like But then I read 2 more that went into more detail. I'll agree, beyond the pale.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 14, 2025 Posted July 14, 2025 Looking at the pictures seem to indicate that they were taken many years ago. I think they show an M-1A1 carbine and a M-1 Garand rifle and some sort of WWII style rocket launcher. The helmets are styles not used since Vietnam. Also there is no evidence that these people are even from your regiment and not some jackass U S soldiers If I'm correct it appears that you are being offended by something that isn't really identified and from a long ago time. Am I missing something here?

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted July 14, 2025 Posted July 14, 2025 I haven't seen any of the content of the website. I suspect that it's just a bunch of cartoons and dirty jokes using LGBTQ, Jews and Blacks as the target of the jokes. If that is the case, poor taste but not the national scandal they are making it out to be. When the military is bored, they start eating their own.
Pat Riot Posted July 14, 2025 Posted July 14, 2025 Makes me wonder if Facebook allowed this content just to put the military in a bad light. I wouldn’t put it past those (censored content removed)

Am I missing something here? The photos I posted were from WWII. USMC in the PTO and US Army somewhere in the Boscage country of the ETO. Those were just examples to show that bored, young gravel agitators have been doing stupid stuff and taking photos of it for a century, near enough. I know that there are photos of bored, young soldiers doing stupid bored, young soldier stuff, but I didn't feel like trying to find them.
