If that's the case. The guy that took the picture and all the people who reviewed it should have been as well. I think who am I to tell a guy how to set up his rifle
Thanks

Its a fake photo, many Navy FB pages have discussed this in detail after it came out. Take a look at the rings or lack there of. Not sure about the being relieved part, seems like that would also be fake news.

A US Navy warship commander was relieved of duty over a 'loss of confidence' 4 months after he was photographed firing a rifle with a backward scope
The US Navy said Commander Cameron Yaste was relieved "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer."

It's a Trijicon VCOG. The mount is integral to the scope.
Anyone who has served in the military and government knows this really isn't surprising if it's true. I remember seeing it, took it at face value.
My question is if he was such a high ranking officer how would he not know that it's mounted backwards?
But he is Navy so….

Could it be a convertible low-light experimental? If not, it's probably a Photo-Shop fake. Any experienced military shooter would recognize that.

So they relieved him of his command for a fake photo?
I highly doubt that the armorer mounted it. The person shooting it if somewhat knowledgeable should have realized it wasn't right but it is the Navy.

Then look at the flying brass (coming) out of the rifle.

It is good for a laugh, and that is about all. Even an idiot would be able to tell that something is wrong. Go Navy!
