The United States Navy is catching some shade after releasing an embarrassing photo that suggests why Sailors should probably stick to shipboard cannons.
The memes, jokes and controversy surround a photo in which the commanding officer of the USS John McCain is apparently qualifying with a service rifle while on ship.
The only problem: the officer’s rifle scope is mounted backwards.
In addition to jokes by military pages and those knowledgeable with firearms, companies that sell firearms and firearms accessories have also joined in.
“Even we wouldn’t do this,” wrote Sightmark on the Navy’s ill-fated post, seemingly self-aware of their own low-tier status in the world of firearms optics and accessories.
