Grand Theft Auto fans have always had a reputation for uncovering secrets and hidden details in Rockstar Games' titles, which the studio has been more than happy to indulge. But one fan has taken things to an entirely new level with a Grand Theft Auto 6 theory that far exceeds the infamous Moon Theory from two years back.

In a forum post that reads more like a university thesis, JohnCGaming, a user who obviously has more time on their hands than most of us, dove headfirst into American military history, tracing the evolution of elite infantry units from colonial times to modern conflicts in the Middle East.

Why? Because the user believes that the tattoo on Jason Duval's left shoulder shown in the second GTA 6 trailer is a direct reference to Merrill's Marauders, a legendary World War 2 unit officially known as the 5307th Composite Unit, which operated deep in the jungles of Burma and India, using guerrilla tactics to disrupt Japanese forces.

JohnCGaming explains that the legacy of Merrill's Marauders was eventually incorporated into the modern 75th Ranger Regiment, one of the most elite light infantry units in the United States Army. The theory suggests that Jason served in this very regiment
