How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn't take it anymore. Those were the days!
Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.
Help me out, because I'm still trying to figure out how it's known he's a Marine.
Nothing in the image itself, but someone else posted this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/tear-gas-protesters-broadview-ice/
Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)
I think it's just an assumption based on the fact that he seems mostly unphased by the tear gas.
Yeah, my man here was just reliving the old days. Definitely find myself missing it here and there, but maybe just the clowns and not the circus.
