The question isn't who he is, it's where he is...
Don't turn around...
>>30315401
he looks so smug in that photo like how i would imagine pepe holding it
Unfortunately, I don't have an impressive Vining collection.
>tfw nobody posts vinning greentexts where he says some sort of cryptic joke before operating on some helpeless fool.

>>30316449
These pics always get posted in Vinning threads, am I retarded or does this look nothing like Vining aside from being a nerdy looking operator?
>>30316498
That is rare but again, are we sure this is actually Vining? He looks nothing like him and seems much taller, Vining is a manlet isn't he?
>>30316530
I was thinking the same thing
>>30316561
I've never actually seem anyone else bring this up so I just assumed I was retarded, but yeah, I don't think that's him.
Maybe this is a Vining disinformation strategy.
>>30316530
>>30316561

>>30316939

>>30320434
>Implying he's not in a deep focus fighting a telepathic mind battle against multiple Imams.
>>30317907
Soldiers would sew them on, similar to raid mod stuff seen later.
Truly a Man's man in a world filled with beta cucks.

>>30316498
These are not Mike.
That man is too tall for one, and that guy is from the USAFs VIP protection detail. I think they are special CID operators. Can't remember for sure though.
>>30321446

>that one guy in the back with a Galil
>that one sniper in the front with a M21
YOU GUYS HAD TO BE DIFFERENT, HUH.
as a reservist with 15years in, in really good shape...how do I into Delta?
>>30321533
I doubt you're eligible now. One of my former Gunnys was invited to Delta. He was a fucking go-getter though. 28 years old and a fucking beast of a man. If you've been in 15 years, you're over 30. I don't think they accept new guys beyond that age. Or maybe that was SEALs.
>>30321607
The avaerage age of Delta is 35
>>30321607
Thats SEALs. Delta is usually as >>30321757 says...but how do I get on the radar? My CoC likes me...my CSM knows my name for good stuff....but we are nowhere near Bragg....
Greetings from /tv/, we love your boy, as well as his doppelganger in Sicaro.

TFW your posts have been screencapped.
>>30321791
Apply for SFAS. If you can make it in the green berets than you'll at least know that you might have a shot at delta.
>>30319703
normie get out
>>30317708
such a baby face when he was in Nam
In other threads about vining I see "natural gas accident" come up a lot. How did that start?
>>30317732
Vinning never skipped leg day.
>>30321447
It might be vining, look at his right wrist in this picture, then Vining's wrist in this current picture. I could be autistic but it looks like in each picture there is some band on his wrist
>>30314993
A liar and a fraud
