The man is the commanding officer of a state of the art US Destroyer. Out serving our country away from his family, keeeping you and yours safe. And this board decides to shite on him cuz he was handed a weapon for a photo op that has a backwards scope. Bunch of Barney Bad a$$'s on here.
Shut the frick up.
Most of the people poking fun at him are veterans or active duty.

Easy there civilian. The officer wouldn't have been the one who installed it on the weapon, but should have hopefully noticed an issue looking through it.

I like Vortex myself. The Gen 3 Razor 1-10 is about perfect.

That picture is on the armorer (or whatever the Navy calls them) who configured the damn thing. The officer was just handed a gun for a photo op.
I guess the skipper pissed off the armorer.
Payback.

That's entirely possible.
But it's really not a big deal and says zero about the guy's competence at his actual job. It's like ripping a big fart during a wedding; it's embarrassing and you don't want it to happen to you but it's not indicative of some deep character flaw. He probably hasn't touched a rifle since OCS and I don't care if the skipper of a ship is a weapons expert any more than I care if a grunt can captain a ship.

most amazing thing about this is the hundreds of military leaders involved in authorizing that photo, also had no idea how to properly use weapons

He does not know how to hold a gun. He does not know how to shoulder the stock. He does not know how to properly use the scope to acquire a sight picture ... and even worse the OPTIC IS ON BACKWARD AND THE COVERS LOOK TO BE ON!!
He also does not know that the vertical foregrip placement makes zero sense. He does not know to keep his elbow down while shooting.
Other than those few things, it's just fine and dandy. I wonder though, if his "buddy" putting his reassuring hand on his shoulder is currently stationed below the galley?

Gunner's Mate and he definitely was responsible for that.
