A photo has emerged showing Democrat Congressional candidate George Scott (PA-10) pointing a gun at an American soldier in what was allegedly a prank about handling captives.

According to Penn Live, Scott indicated that pointing the gun at the soldier’s head was to produce what was “intended as a comic image.”

Scott indicates the photo of him pointing a gun at a fellow soldier was taken in 1989 or 1990, “near [the] completion of Operation Just Cause in Panama.”

Young soldiers do a lot of stupid things.

Stuff that sounded good at the time.

Minor stuff.

Unless that is a rubber theatrical gun...I wouldn’t want that person anywhere near weapons.

And what is with that banner on the wall behind him? Hmm?

Basic training as a kid you NEVER point a gun at someone. Photo gets a gut level response from me.

Democrats have “joke” pictures groping women and pointing guns at soldiers. And so many of the left are targeted by #metoo and kill each other with guns in Democrat-run cities.

But Trump is the one who practices “dangerous language” while these “joke” pictures are excused by the left.

I knew an old guy who saw a kid get a bullet through his brain from a guy who was carelessly handling a Luger he had liberated, in 1945.

Have you ever seen a 'democrat underground' thug defend a conservative? Ever? Yeah, it's great to be 'above it all' but we're in the fight of our life. And pointing a loaded weapon at anyone is stupid.

Two other troops are holding it up.

Looks to be a political flag of elements supporting the government - war trophy.

My dad would never hunt again with anyone that accidentally pointed a gun at him. He’d been shot in Normandy during WWII. Didn’t care for the experience.

Soldier wearing a Panamanian hat? These guys were goofing off. Probably part of the Civil Affairs group.

Rule 1. Treat all guns as if they are always loaded. Rule 2. Never let the muzzle cover anything that you are not willing to destroy.

I hope now that this is out that this idiot's Sergeant catches up with him. Caught at the time and the guy would be on the ground curled up in a fetal position, then some extra instruction and then restricted duties unless or until he was court martialed.

Young, jesting, whatever just a very stupid move all over.

The guy looks like a nut.

You do know that Just Cause was in 1989?

29 years ago. Don’t think his sergeant will be looking for him.
