The number of internet users worldwide will soon reach the 5-billion mark. Our world has never been so connected. Great photos can spread like wildfire, but the story and the necessary context sometimes gets left behind. But not in TFB’s Photo Of The Day, we will always accompany the images with a background and credits to the producer. Today we have “Fuerzas Comando Tryouts”.

Below you can see a 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Soldiers run through a shooting drill at the Element training facility in Holt, Florida. This looks like my kind of drill, and it would have been so cool to try a run or two to see how I scored versus these Special Forces soldiers.

The US Armed Forces looks like one big MS-13 gang with all of the tats now.

  @Christoph1970 Gross. But please, describe to me your ideal servicemember that would meet your standard.

  @Neat I'd be happy if they'd just keep their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, or at least refuse to take orders from the enemies of the Constitution. But that would take honor and courage. It's a lot easier to just follow orders and earn "badass" cred by fighting illiterate goat herders and farmers.

  @Christoph1970 I thought “Fuerzas Commando” was some South American SF unit at first.

  @Christoph1970 Nearly everyone in the military has a tattoo. And guess what. They don't care what you think.

  @Uniform223 Yeah, if I said that stuff to any of their faces, they'd surely beat me up, right? And of course that would prove the incorrectness of what I said....
