IR Illuminator/Laser Mounted with A standard Non NOD scope?
Flags on sleeves facing wrong way?
Looks Like a Nightforce Optics scope, Is that standard issue?
Oh, and WTF is he going to mount IN FRONT of his Optic on that 1913 rail?
And I think he's wearing Undies on his head. Not sure, But they look like undies.

Maybe a laser range finder?

Undies? HAven't you ever worn a FEDOR, a "Field Expedient Do-Rag"?
The flags are the first thing that jump out as wrong, though there are other things that are unorthodox. What's with the Jason Priestley sideburns? ODA-90210? And the Alkaline Trio logo?

Here's a WAG. Not that it's what's wrong with the pic but is he a SEAL  I don't know an army unit that has a patch on the left sholder like the one he has.

I would say he has the subdued flags on the wrong sleeves. If I recall correctly, the field of honor always leads, i.e. it should appear as it would if it were on a pole and being carried, displayed, etc.

Flags, shades, PAQ-4 looks cattywompus and may be blocking weapon function, "E 2" on sleeve instead of blood type, freshly unwrapped cravat on head, looks like his safety is on while his finger is on the trigger, civvie logo around his neck, agree, it is almost certainly a SEAL.

I concur Sir ....every Team guy I knew from back in the day had LONG sideburns ...I think it was kinda like a trademark kinda deal. IIRC.
SEALS....always got to look pretty .... ....heheh.

Looks like a Schmidt & Bender scope to me. 9 x 12 power, adjusts in mils, not minutes. Same one the Brit RM's use if I'm not mistaken. It's a very nice scope.
That is a very strange way to mount the PEQ-2, I've never seen mounting hardware that would allow that, especially on a bolt action rifle. It must be mounted for up close engagements at night with a PVS-14 head-mounted since that laser on the PEQ-2 doesn't at all follow the trajectory of a high power sniper rifle, not to mention that is a day scope that can't view IR.

It is from the cemetery in Najaf.... sorry, the "Holy City of Najaf" (which would now be the "Holey City of Najaf" but for American restraint).

Well, then, peculiar uniform aside, I hope he gets some. What is that little black box on the right side of the scope?

Nothings wrong if he's getting the job done.

Actually, the PEQ 2 follows the trajectory of whatever weapon system you zero it. A PEQ2 can be mounted on M249s, M240s, M2 .50 cal. An I'm sure he would use his NVGs while using it.
