My money is on an idiot in a halloween costume. Big emphasis on IDIOT. At least that's what I hope it is.

Looks like it was a corps guy with a training weapon. We'll see.

could have been rangers, but they wear BDUs for most of their stuff, more often than Recon or Seals do anyway. My bet for shorts and a tshirt would be Seals or Recon.
