DAMN! MPs always invading the wrong AO for the operation!

If you were in Panama for Urgent Fury - you were a couple of countries too far north and about six years early. You didn't shoot anybody did you?

If so....then the Fella/Latino wearing the flag, would want to wear it, so as not to be mistaken for being in the PDF.
Because didn't they (the PDF) get many of their supplies/uniforms/BDUs from the U.S.?
That would be a feat, since I see no downside to being a Latino in Panama during Operation URGENT FURY, the invasion of Grenada.

A2's in 1983? Wow, guess I need to refresh my weapon history. Is that an A1 in Chief's hands? The vest on the guy in the back left through me off on a date that old.

The flag bearer doesn't appear to be latino to me.

Ok, let's pull the wings and legs off the fly one at a time.

Yes, there is a sling on the weapon I am holding, however it is not my rifle. i carried a long gun on that op and had already cleaned it and put it away, the rifle I am holding belongs to the individual that took the picture.

The SF Warrior with the flag is indeed Latino, half Portuguese and half PR. We made him wear the flag to mess with him, telling him we didn't want to shoot him by mistake.

AM is right about the equipment.
