I thought the guns looked a bit funny but couldn’t put my finger on it.

Actually, you guys have all missed the glaring thing in this picture! it’s a hell of a lot more simple. You know who stands out the most???

The Yank! He has a REAL RIFLE!!!!

If you look closely at the other ones, they are using rubber rifles (basically the M4 is a rubber rifle with a steel barrel – same thing with the 2 Egyptians…I’m in the Canadian infantry and we use those rubber rifles for mockups sometimes…surprisingly they’re heavier than the real thing!) I wouldn’t expect most people to get that….

Does the pakistani have a *fake* rifle?

Note the complete lack of field gear on the non-US troops. Forget the fancy holo-sights and laser pointers: where do they keep water and extra ammo??

Also, notice the effectiveness of the ACU’s in this particular environment.

Oh, and just for grins and giggles, tail-end-charlie has his finger on the trigger.

So *that’s* where all the old 6-color desert BDUs went. Huh.

A fmr Marine told me about a Bright Star he was on once. The Egyptians were very hungry, and eager to eat what the Marines shared from their MREs.

Like pork patties.

It looks like they don’t trust the Pakistani.
