Yes, that is a member of the US Army Band playing a brass instrument through a mask with a hole in it.
I literal crotchless face diaper.
Playing an instrument that requires blowing hard through it.
Wearing a mask with a hole in it.
Yeah, “least valuable, least trustworthy, lowest-functioning Americans on this side of the prison system” is an appropriate description.
It seems stupid on its face, until you realize that the reaction to COVID was never about controlling COVID and all about seizing control of the nation.
Oy gevalt!
Can’t blame the musician. If he wants to stay in the band, he’s gotta follow orders….
Poor bastard….
That’s definitely peak security theater.
Hahahahahaha…What.A.Tool.
And ya know what….10cent says He’s Proud of Himself.
Hard to say, current army stance is you must wear a mask until vaccinated. Some units keep closer track of that than others. My unit simply lets us be, other units make you present your papers when you are seen without a mask. Poor joe there might just be mistrustful of the vaccine as most older soldiers who remember the military’s history with experimental vaccines are but is stuck in one of those units who does it’s best to harass everyone in to getting the vaccine.
