(Just can't resist:) Look At This Fucking Asshole
And what better way to terrify the caliphate than by sauntering around in a bulletproof vest that’s been personalized like a pair of Underoos, and then wearing it OVER a goddamn blazer? It’s a sharp look, one that says, “I’d like to make a war, but I’d also like a mint julep.” Imagine how long Scent of a Woman here stared at himself in the mirror with his vest and Malibu cop sunglasses on. I bet a Steve Vai guitar solo played in his head the whole time. Why, I’d just be quaking in my sandals if I were the Islamic State. This Harvard Freshman Orientation Leader will wipe them out in the morning and still have time to attend your nephew’s rehearsal dinner later that afternoon.

That is the actual article title.
I wonder if the troops will get new uniforms? They could just armour plate the blazer.
EDIT: fixed title (I hope -am back on the iPhone)
EDIT EDIT: I just found out this was the ORIGINAL source for this story. It is some kind of military site and you have to join the 'organisation' to view the website. I did not but feel that I have to attribute the origin of this picture and story to where it really belongs.

lol - what a dufus....
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon
Jared is out of uniform--he didn't put on his tie.
Ties can be armored as well, plus they comport with military regulations--just like blue Blazers.
The black one is more appropriate but the blue and red one declares family loyalty.
Amanda, you decide.
I go with the black one. Excellent choice.
Too bad it doesn't come in navy. Jared seems to be a navy kinda guy.

The deadspin comment section
Made my heart soar. The overwhelming majority of comments ,especially the current and former military are totally against this regime and the mic. Many,if not most, refuse to encourage their children to enter the military. Sure, there are some buttholes, but most are anti war and anti imperialism.
Guy named spere had some outstanding things to say.
IMHO.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Task & Purpose captions are brutal,
And you don't need to join, just hit the x in the upper right corner to clear the sign-up box and you can view the entire piece. It's a complete photo-diary of Jared's trip. Hilarious commentary!
Are those corporate
sponsors on the vest?

Ya know, I never understand why people like this
or others think that little vest is going to save their lives. Seriously, if you had the opportunity to shoot someone in that vest, where would you aim?
And what the hell is he doing in Iraq anyway?
I wonder how much his trip cost us when whatever he had to say could have been said over Skype.
This administration is going to bankrupt us.
Did you see that when the family went to Aspen, 100 secret service agents went with them and got to buy winter clothes as well as ski clothing, skis and other items to protect them. It's going to be a long 4 years.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
As bad as that is...
Additional security for DeVos may cost up to $7.8 million
And this is just enough to get through the month of September! $7.8 million to protect an ignorant Education Secretary from parents who don't want their kids anywhere near this walking disaster. That's more than a million $$$/per month for her security. In the past, the Education Secretary's security was provided by other department employees. Now, the US Marshall's need to protect her because a "protester briefly blocked her from entering a public school". And at the same time, Trump is requesting the Department of Education budget be cut by 13%.
You can't make up shit like this if you tried.
