Manhunt for heavily-armed soldier in Belgium

[Washington Resistance Army]

Didn't Varg also waltz into a norwegian armory after escaping prison
like wtf europe how is it so easy to do that

tbf I know of a Guard armory here in the States and it's unguarded 99% of the time, could probably just roll up at night with boltcutters and stuff like that and make off with tons of stuff

Just turn your country into a giant urban warfare course with bunkers and SKS as a social test

[Ifreann]

Since he has all these guns, have they tried using a giant magnet to catch him?

[Juristonia]

Renegade soldier with suspected ties to the far right who has made multiple threats towards a virologist, members of the government and celebrities and rocket launchers that he is suspected to have stolen from a military base have been found hidden in a car

"Man they call everyone a terrorist these days"

6head take ladies and gentlemen.

The sad thing is, this kind of sentiment is all over social media, for some god awful reason.
There's even a facebook support group for the guy with thousands of members.

At 46 he might have a kinda senior rank letting him get around inventory stuff.

Properly worrying.

Nope, just a Corporal. Not even a commissioned officer.

As an NCO he probably had a small amount of troops under his command. He probably requested a resupply for the men under his command and then stole it.

He was demoted two ranks for being racist online, so if he's a corporal now then he was recently *Googles Belgian military ranks* a 1st Master Corporal.

"Corporal" is not an officer rank in Belgium.

Corporal or not, still an NCO

[Kubra]

As in it's not even non-commissioned. It's not an officer rank *at all*.

It's not an officer rank anywhere.

Because it's not an officer rank at all. Corporals are still grunts.

I don't think you know what an NCO is.

JUST PUT A TRACKING DEVICE ON HIM NOW ITS TO LATE

I suspect that a giant bait in form of a fake Covid-vaccination centre might work better.
Belgium should call ACME to see if they have any.

[Mestovakia]

I don't think you know what an NCO is.

Technically Corporal is an NCO rank in various armies. Not in Belgium though.

[Kubra]

Because it's not an officer rank at all. Corporals are still grunts.

In some places it is an nco, in some places a corporal ain't a but a higher corporal rank is, but one can't rely on that because some places have higher corporal ranks that still are not nco's. This confusion is why the NATO rank scale exists.

[South Americanastan]

Corporal or not, still an NCO

I don't think you know what an NCO is.

What I mean is that we know that he is an NCO rank, not necessarily a corporal

[Kubra]

I don't think you know what an NCO is.

What I mean is that we know that he is an NCO rank, not necessarily a corporal

again: he is a corporal in the belgian armed forces, and as such not an NCO in any capacity.

[Immortan Khan]

Belgium only has the headquarters of Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN), one of the most prominent firearms manufacturers in the world and currently the biggest military small arms exporter in Europe.

That moment when the resident nazi is better informed than some newbie.

Ouch.

I am aware of the existence of FN lmao. It was a joke about the poor state of the Belgian military.

Given the threats he's made to public health officials, it's highly likely he'd be an anti-vaxxer.

[Immortan Khan]

I don't think you know what an NCO is.

Corporals are considered junior NCO's in a lot of armed forces. They are also, iirc, considered such in the US Army and Marine Corps.

[Xmara]

Yikes. Hope they catch the guy before he kills people.

One question I do have: how easily could he flee the country? Because if he could easily flee the country, then that’s probably what he plans to do.

Extremely easily, but escaping the country is useless.
Like yo, who's gonna give you asylum, the french?
