Looks like the B-52s hit valuable targets. ^^

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

I am very sure that is a French kepi and French leggings. I believe Austro-Hungarian officers would be wearing some sort of jackboot.

This is an Austro-Hungarian soldier. Note the different style of hat. (He is junior enlisted, non NCO, but it illustrates the different type of hat that issued by Austria-Hungary.)

They made it even more awsome by mounting in on a Volvo:

It is called Pvpjtgb 9031 which is an acronym for PansarVärnsPJäsTerränGBil 9031 (freely translated to Off-road anti-tank car 9031).

Also, the boots are just normal low boots, and the leather gaiters were common for officers as private purchase right into WW2 for many countries.  The kepi is dead on austrian officer as well.



Note the coat, similar style to the other guy's.

And here's some reserve officer's fooling around.  Note the kepis:

Can anyone identify this gun? I'm just curious how old it is and whether it is eastern or western made. I took the screenshot from a coverage about somalia. Seems to be the best the so called government troops got over there. So, does anyone know what ancient thing we got here?

Thats right, 2 nights ago 250 members of PKK snuck in and attacked a station of 40 soldiers.. 12 dead on our side 19 (or more) on their side, another Operation in N Iraq possible :P




Btw, alot of NATO and non NATO soldiers exchange weapons and fire them a little, its pretty common :) I also had a TSK soldier with an SA80 in Afghanistan

Worked with some pretty bearded US, I'm tellin ya ;D!
Anyways everyone is allowed to grow beards with my units on deployment, but back home there are still strict rules. thats how it should. Its a good thing that army's  change there rules to blend in more with the Culture of the country in witch they deploy.

In the first part of the war Taliban and locals used to call the SF personal, "Beard mans". Every normal personal still shaved every morning, which made the SF personal distinguished because of there wild look.

I think we all know this photo:


BEARD B-B-B-B-B-BONNNNUSSSSS
