Vice President JD Vance visited the Marine Corps base in Quantico today. In addition to speaking with some of the troops, Vance got an opportunity to try out some of the war equipment at the site.
Vance fired a machine gun, among other weapons.
This is pretty cool.

Vance celebrates ‘no more quotas’ in the military as he fires guns and visits with Marines
Vice President JD Vance boasted of “no more quotas” in the military as he visited young Marines at Quantico Wednesday, emphasizing that the previous administration’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies are no longer in effect.
“No more quotas, no more ridiculous mumbo jumbo, no more diversity trainings,” he said. “We believe the real strength and the real diversity in the United States Marine Corps is that you all come from every walk of life, every corner of America, and you have got the strength and the purpose to win the nation’s wars.”
The vice president claimed he saw a “renewed sense of patriotism” and a “renewed commitment to excellence in the nation’s military youth.”
After addressing a crowd of Marines, Vance briefly served lunch in the chow hall and fired three different guns — an M27, M107 and an M240B — and an inert Howitzer and a drone at a gun range…
Lieutenants at Quantico told Fox News Digital they were excited to see a former Marine in the White House. Amid rapid-fire changes in Washington, they said their day-to-day lives hadn’t changed much in the military, other than new restrictions about what they were allowed to post on social media.

JD Vance was a fantastic choice of VP by President Trump. He reminds us of it all the time, through his words and actions.
