Comment on OptimisT by MRBee30

I mean no offense by this, but I have to say that this picture only shows me play. how a child thinks something like that would be. I am a united states marine and I have seen conflict from it's raw state to death from afar using remote controls and digital screens. I have a body that it plagued with grotesque scares for conflict. I have brought death to my enemies and the enemies of the world in only a few ways. but what you are trying to portray is not some video game or fantasy. it is something warriors from around the world are living every second. the image that you are trying to portray would be better if you were wearing camies soaked in sweat with a slow crust of the salts from that sweat slowly moving in, body armor that has nicks and cuts from shrapnel and having to spend days moving through harsh terrain and fire fights, covered in a heavy layer of dust and sand. and your face should been shown covered in the same sand and dust with you're camouflage paint, smeared with half of it gone from an ambush that happened only hours ago while it was still dark outside. and the weapon must be covered in the same heavy dust and sand covered in scraps from all your movements. that would be the image that strikes true fear in the eyes of your enemy. a warrior that has been dragged through hell and back with the taste of death and revenge on his tongue and the barrel of his M16 pointing at his enemies body.

again I hope you do not take offense to my critique, I am only giving you the perspective of a man who knows first hand these things
