Great photo, a bit close...

They must have been surprised/attacked in harbour given a t-shirt and no helmet/ear/eye protection/webbing/body armour. A quick question, doesn't that AN/PEQ interfere with the ACOG's field of view?

No, the angle of the gun makes it look like it does, but the ACOG sits just a bit higher than AN/PEQ

I do not support our kids being sent to occupy foreign lands for corporate interests but it makes for great photo ops & someone has to tell the story.An amazing capture here.

While I do not support troops being sent to war for corporate interests either, I do support the fight in Afghanistan to pull the country away from the extremists and to win the Afghan's a better future.

The fact that you base your understanding of the world off of such shallow garbage while refuting the experience of someone who's actually been there shows your own nativity. When you grow up and hopefully learn something about the actual world, you'll see how silly and empty your comment here is.

"When you grow up and hopefully learn something about the actual world" Funny, I thought the same of you. Ironic, isnt it? :)
As Simidae said, its an amazing capture, but dont start telling us your Country fights for whatever Country's better future. Your Country kills hundredths of thousands people all over the world (Irak, Afghanistan, Lybia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Syria soon? Iran soon?) since many years to secure their economical interests, and you are just a marionette, indoctrinated by your media and politicians. Its a proven fact that your soldiers used uranium ammunition in Irak. You know how high the birth defects and cancer rate grew up there since 2003? Google it. Same in Vietnam (Orange Agent). But hey! Its everything for Humanity and a better future :)

AzRalL922 I stand behind your post. Some of those american patriots really need to wake up and see the real face of their goverment. I dont have nothing against the soldiers, send there, but the real evil is the one claiming they are fightning terrorist, while in truth they are occupying whole nations and killing millions just because of their oil reserves. I am sorry if i am too blunt here, but i cant believe how blind some people can be, or they just dont want to see or admit the obvious.
