In the military in the 80’s, we called them RPG’s, Rape Prevention Glasses.

I bet people on here don't know who that is. The guy in Sicario with the glasses? Based off the dude seen in that photo.

Mike Vining, Delta Force plank owner

ETA the mild mannered nerd internet meme falls apart when you see some of his other pictures. He looks pretty fricking sinister in his natural habitat.

I was issued BCGs when I got to Fort Knox.


Those are the "modern" ones, IIRC they were designed by a famous designer obviously hamstrung by the DOD specs. The funny thing is the older ones were less worse. I had an E5 in my platoon that wore the ones for use with a gas mask (rubber strap) all the time and he had to be the only person on the planet that could make them look cool. Note they were the ones before the military went to inserts.
