Nice picture Graf.

Arriving at the hospital after what i think stepping on a AP mine.


First thing I noticed here: the doctors are wearing camo hospital scrubs. Gotta love the Army. Fun side note, the Marines are issued olive drab undershirts and underwear, so you can hide yourself when you are not wearing pants, I guess.

It's all about uniformity. Uniforms = everyone dressed the same = thinking you're part of a team, not an individual.

It's one of the purposes of military uniforms throughout history.

Modern day 3rd Army also patrols the Caucasus areas :)

Us too, but not the cheap stuff. Some smooth/soft material :D

This is an ex-Turkish Army guy I know that works for a private contractor firm in Afghanistan.

Anyone who supports the UN is a closet totalitarian and most likely supports a one world government which will enslave us all.

Quote
Men from India Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and Afghan Army soldiers step it out toward a helicopter crash during the first day of Operation Thresher in Trek Nawa, Afghanistan, July 23. The men were the first group on foot to make it to the crash site, which was more than three miles away. India Company Marines and Afghan Army soldiers conducted the clearing mission to remove weapons caches, disrupt Taliban activity and interact with the local populace. During the first day of the operation a helicopter crash caused the Marines to temporarily shift their mission and pause the operation. India Company resumed days later and completed the operation July 27.
