It looks like this pattern, but maybe from a different manufacturer.

Who is this masked man and why is he out of uniform. I think we have us one of those rogue warriors fly around over here. Don't worry sir we'll get to the bottom of this. All I know it's not one of my men, because we did not submit a memo request to wear ANYTHING OTHER THAN ACU's. That's right, up until shortly ago to one had to request to wear BDU's or even DCU's. Even through they are issued military uniforms. Thankfully the policy was revised(which was a SOF policy to boot), now one can wear any issued battle uniform of your service. As for the tiger strips that is just plan silly, even through they do not violate the law of land warfare. As explained by the JAG, but does violate policy letters produced. But I beleive that the haji in the uniform is taliban and will be shot on sight if anyone could ID this masked man, oh is it's Batman. This is no launghing matter. If it was by some slimest of margins a US member I would bet that this was taken in his off time in the team bunker.....

How do you like the ACU's?

Does the pattern work? Or is it a total Goat F&*k pattern for your AO?

You guys stay safe.

This individual, looks familiar. If seen an immediate sitrep will be sent to the proper authorities, and if approval is given, will nicely ask him, if he is a bad guy. If he answers in the affirmitive, another sitrep will be sent, asking what I should do with said bad guy. 48-72 hrs later, when I get an answer, I will then escort him to the proper police officials.

C/S PHOENIX 10,
Is that the HK69A1 grenade launcher? Looks like it.

Not sure of the exact nomenclature. I'm looking at it now and it just says granatepistole HK on it. I've never done an internet search into it. It is cool though isn't it? We've got two.

Trust yes it is an HK69A1, it is as reliable as a rock, it's my weapons of choice once I can get a RAP round made for it. No it's a great weapon light and reliable. We have a ton of photo's but as you can see I am a mentally challenged individual and having hugh issues trying to reduce the size to be excepted in a post.

Hmmm interesting photos and dialogue.

TR, my guess is that Frontsight only had 20 round mags that were blocked to compy with the silly bill. But then to have a weapon and not fire it is inconceivable.

Desert Tigers, now that is about asinine. Tigers were developed for the horizontal shadows thrown by triple canopy in SEA.

How can a flag that is not on the right shoulder and have the field of stars in the upper right hand corner be correct? The actual 'law' says that the field is to always be in the upper left hand corner. Only Army policy corrected the odd appearance of the backwards flying flag. I have mixed feelings on this one. It looks odd and we need flags on both shoulders, but.......

I believe is he wearing the new "digital ACUs" The photos caused the odd Tiger like appearance. Just my thoughts on it.
