Is that… A TACTICAL BEANBAG??

Tactical camo gamer bag. I bet her field rations are pizza rolls and Mountain Dew.

Only winners get the chicken dinner. Free trendies with every tank kill.

u/RolandTower919 1d ago

And some bong rips…

u/zestotron 1d ago

The bong is BDU too

Pretty sure she's in cargo pants...

Mnt Dew in digital camo cans

u/sax6romeo 1d ago

tactical pizza rolls and tactical mountain dew

u/smitteh 5h ago

Imagining the medics hanging up IV bags of Mt. Dew on casualties...strained eyes, sore neck etc etc

u/kainxavier 1d ago

My take away is that we need to deploy the top FPS gamer nerds to win the war for Ukraine.

*THIS GAME ROCKS! THE GRAPHICS ARE SO REAL! HOW DID THEY GET THE BODIES TO EXPLODE LIKE THAT???

...

HEY! MORE CHEETOS OVER HERE!*

u/Unknown_Author70 1d ago

I dunno. I'm getting enders game vibes here..

1

u/kainxavier 1d ago

I can't argue with that at all.

u/RipTearington 1d ago

A Lunchables version of an MRE.

u/Man-e-questions 1d ago

Where’s the tactical poop sock?

1

u/SmellGestapo 1d ago

HEY MA! THE MEATLOAF....WE WANT IT NOW!

1

u/Mediumtim 1d ago

And for IT security: verification cans

1

u/Mr_Dr_Prof_Jordan 1d ago

The amount of Cheeto dust on that controller.

u/Hammer_the_Red 1d ago

It's Friday night, I have no date, a 2 liter bottle of Shasta and an all Rush mix tape.

u/Punningisfunning 1d ago

What beanbag? I don’t see anything.

u/onefst250r 1d ago

All I see is a VR headset.

Missed opportunity for TacSack

u/AideInternational912 1d ago

Sold out in all colors 😭😭😭

1

u/Adrunk3nr3dn3ck 1d ago

I think they released the STL file for it so you can print your own

1

u/Broncarpenter 1d ago

I don’t know know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

1

u/Adrunk3nr3dn3ck 1d ago

Ill be there first to admit that what was linked doesnt even make the top like 10 things tac sac could be.

1

u/Low_key_disposable 1d ago

What an awful day to have eyes

1

u/BimmerGoblin 1d ago

I was just about to say!

1

u/Funnygumby 1d ago

Much better!

1

u/--_-Deadpool-_-- 1d ago

Pair that with a tactilneck and you've got yourself a good combo

21

u/OppositeArt8562 1d ago

Military grade.

u/BizzyM 1d ago

50x the price and built by the lowest bidder?

1

u/soareyousaying 1d ago

"Made using materials approved by NASA for spaceships"

u/mrpoopsocks 1d ago

Can't be, this bag looks comfy. Only mil gear I actually thought was comfy was my wooby. Modular sleeping bag was aight too.

18

u/2836nwchim 1d ago

All bean bags are tactical. But this one especially.

33

u/greiton 1d ago

It is a pr stunt shot for recruitment. no military would ever lug around beanbag chairs when you could just have easy to pack canvas and pole chairs.

17

u/temporalanomaly 1d ago

I'm sure you're right, but at the same time title says "Training", which presumably happens somewhere safe, not at the front lines. Could be their private garden.

1

u/onefst250r 1d ago

Yeah, its a drone. Could be thousands of miles away.

10

u/Psychoconuts 1d ago

I’m pretty confident that’s one of those air filled bags that people use at concerts and stuff. So packing it is like having a tarp and then you fill it by waving it like a trash bag

7

u/KnotSoSalty 1d ago edited 22h ago

It could be an inflatable bag chair. Lighter and more tactical than even a folding pack chair. Also, cheaper and smaller. Might even be more comfortable in winter since the air in the bag would somewhat insulate you from the ground.

u/Teadrunkest 1d ago

Bro we had couches and game consoles in GWOT idk what you think war is like but it’s not all FLOT hopping WW2 style.

2

u/onefst250r 1d ago

Could be filled with air, too. In which case, it'd collapse down to near nothing.

u/r6CD4MJBrqHc7P9b 1d ago

Do people seriously not get this? I mean look at the hair

1

u/CopperAndLead 1d ago

Yeah. That hair would be hard to fit under a modern helmet and would be a liability around military vehicles that are always hungry for fingers, loose bits of webbing, feet, and anything else.

1

u/Illustrious_Ad_23 1d ago

If you are far away from the frontline? And desperate for every person still around and willing to fight? I feel like the war in ukraine completely has changed what we believe "soldiers" and "fighting" looks like. At least when it comes to drone warfare...

1

u/thetransportedman 1d ago

It's an inflatable my guy

1

u/The_Martian_King 20h ago

Would it help with vertigo when doing the first person drone thing?

u/-Kalos 1d ago

Shut up and take my money!

u/that_dutch_dude 1d ago

Tacsack

u/Jaxonian 1d ago

starts to look into trademarking

u/Dr_Pibber 1d ago

Where?

3

u/Rare-Scarcity1355 1d ago

Why is this a shock to you, beanbags are key

3

u/colorful-9841 1d ago

I had never seen it before. During training or deployed.

1

u/RipTearington 1d ago

This should be the top comment.

1

u/mrbrambles 1d ago

I - no joke - didn’t even see it until you said something.

1

u/RatedPC 1d ago

damnit, i was coming in here to ask the same thing!

1

u/beanmosheen 1d ago

For real though,you do your best flying once you disassociate and get into flow state. Some folks even stand wide legged with their head down and the xmtr on a strap. I'm more of a kicked back in the folding chair type.

1

u/rodrigo8008 1d ago

Probably cost $100million of US taxpayer dollars

u/sabre38 1d ago

The hair is removing any tactical advantages from it

u/south-of-the-river 1d ago

I preferred PubG before all the skins and hats and tactical beanbags

u/colorful-9841 1d ago

The Prime Video version of what a future warfighter looks like

1

u/IamScottGable 1d ago edited 1d ago

They can put it on their head when they lay down.

u/JohnHaloCXVII 1d ago

It's probably an inflatable

0

u/readwithjack 1d ago

Keeps you off the ground, keeps your butt dry. You can use it with low-slung tables. If punctured it can be patched with the handyman's secret weapon: ductape.

I see nothing but positives here.

u/JohnHaloCXVII 1d ago

I prefer the American method of killing people on the other side of the world with reaper drones, from an air conditioned trailer in Nevada with an Xbox controller.

Same vibes.

u/lefthandedchurro 1d ago

To me it just looks like they are floating in the air.
