How predictable. I knew the "you're a tool bag for following AFIs" responses were coming.
I hate dudes who fall back on AFIs as much as the next dude but that doesn't mean we can do whatever the hell we feel like either. Can I get drunk in uniform because I'm heading to the bar after work?
Bending the AFI to meet mission requirement is one thing. Out right breaking the AFI to suit my own selfish purposes is something I have no interest in participating in.
BTW the AFI I'm referring to is making quick convenience stops in uniform. I doubt Xmas shopping at a mall counts.
Maybe the dude was getting just one thing...in which case I'll gladly eat a dick. But considering how many bags he had, I doubt it. I mean, I'd love to wear my uniform in public too so that I could get free shit but that doesn't mean I do it..
