A Faux Operator embraces all of the appeaeances of a military spec ops dude, without ever having served. They wear: 511 pants, long beards, Oakley’s, and Hats with tear away Velcro flags. They can often be found in their normal haunts, at celebrity firearms classes. They often feel that the instructor’s past bio somehow is now part of their resume.
Hey bro, I just went over to thank that secret squirrel looking dude, with the new Sig MCX rifle, for his service. You know, the guy that was talking about Mogadishu all morning. He stuttered a bit, then told me, “he had shin splints in ROTC and he couldn’t enlist.” That dude’s not a SEAL, he’s a Faux Operator; I’m gonna steal his $700.00 Aimpount and piss in his canteen later.
