people like the war fighter look but not the life. lolol Who can blame them. Being real is uncomfortable. Why do that when you can kill zombies on video games, post on the campfire from the privacy of your own home while watching war footage interspaced with Dancing with the Stars or Dual Survival? Then head out to the mall or gunshow with your scarf, shades and Zero Dork Thirty hillbilly beard. It's all good.

I guess that in the long run, dressing up 'tactical' is not much different than folks wearing cowboy boots and hats, that have never been on a horse. I can't afford Crye pants, but I do like 5-11s.

Shemaghs(pronounced: schmoag) are those usually gray and white checkered scarves you see on almost every special forces operator, or lately every security guard at the DNR range that I go to, along with their Crye pants and jackets. John I thought those things were small table cloths.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

While I was waiting to get a CAT scan yesterday I noticed this dude sitting in the waiting room. From what I could see, he was sporting around 700 bucks worth of tactical wear on the outside. That doesn't count the tactical t-shirt under his fleece and buckskin rubbers in his wallet.

Or wearing head to toe cammo while setting in a box overlooking a pile of corn. I agree with the OP though. Especially annoying when worn by spoiled college twirps who are disgruntled with America.

Couldn't be any worse than douchebags who wear polo shirts with their collars turned up, usually accompanied by hats turned backwards. :-)

Can't say I've ever seen one around here.
But then, I stay out of malls and gun shows.

They only one I see wearing on their head like that here is a Muslim woman down the street. And I keep an eye on her. Lots of woman where them thin cotton scarfs , but I don't think they are doing anything but adding some color.

Or wearing head to toe cammo while setting in a box overlooking a pile of corn. Almost guilty of that. I do wear a lot of camo while watching for deer. Seems like about the only warm thing that you can buy here, that is not real noisy. I also wear cowboy boots and hat on occasion, but I have been on a horse, and used to own a few. I do not put on a football jersey or basketball, to watch a game, but some do, so I hear. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Good for dust and sweat as well. When I start sweating heavily, I tend to take stuff off instead of adding to my wardrobe. My Dad tried for years to get me to wear long sleeve shirts while working in the field. He said it was cooler but I never found that to be true. In fact, most of my younger years, I wore no shirt at all. An no, I do not have skin cancers as a result. miles

In the 70's lots of folks were wearing boonie hats whether they were in Vietnam or not. Same thing.

also dont have those scarves but ive got a few of those Buff wraps made out of the same stuff as some of the shirts i buy to protect my head from burning and keep sweat out of my eyes(sweat tends to start rolling off me when i get even mildly warm, must be my cold adapted thick Norwegian blood )....

When I was in, we did not have the Arabic shemaghs, but everyone wore the green muslin cravat as a scarf in the field in the warmer months. Worked good, especially when trying to keep dust out of your mouth/nose if moving by vehicle or to collect sweat under your kpot.
My favorite piece of snivel gear was the old sleeping bag hood liner that came with the heavy down bags. I wore those under my kpot in the winter.
