The Navy posted a photo on social media platforms of a man getting some firing time on a rifle, but there was just one problem. The weapon's optics were on backwards and appeared to still have the cap covers on.

Maybe this Officer shouldn't be in charge of loading or firing torpedoes or missiles.

That’s a Trijicon; it’s a very nice scope.

In this case using it is rather easy. Simply shoot turn the rifle around to use the sights, then fire.

Makes perfect sense given the nature of our government.

Everyone is so quick to criticize. Let’s look at the positives instead. For one thing, rifle guy put his shirt on properly. It’s not on backwards.
🤔

In all seriousness, how could that guy not notice the problems with the scope? Or maybe he did, and his supervisor just told him to shut up and pose.

it wouldnt surprise me if this was a joke and even the cameraman knew it. they were poking fun at the navy brass being disconnected from the enlisted. seeing if they could post this and see if anyone noticed.

The job of the US Military now is to deliver Taxpayer cash to Ukraine GloboHomoNazis and pay for Tranny’s transition procedures.

In some circles its a joke to put the ammo in backward, take pics and then question what’s wrong. I’m sure there’s more to this.

after a hard second look that scope isnt on backwards, whomever made this observation is the idiot.

That's unlikely since he is the top guy on the ship, it's Commanding Officer.

I have a friend of a friend who’s an armorer in Hollywood. There’s been a couple times he set the scope correctly, but the director wanted it changed because backwards “looked better to the camera”. Armorer reversed the scope because the Director’s an idiot but the armorer wants a paycheck.
