U.S. Army Sgt. Kyle V. Johnson, of Momence, Ill., a team leader with the Scout Platoon, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, Task Force No Slack, scans the valley below through a scope and a spider net while pulling security at Helicopter Landing Zone Hawk high above the Marawara District in eastern Afghanistan’s Kunar province, July 4. The spider net prevents glare from giving his position away. Coalition forces pushed insurgents out of the district days earlier and are setting up permanent outposts to prevent insurgents from returning to the area.
if he's not exactly hiding and using camuflage (u can see he's sitting while the weapon is on the floor), why would he really need the entire net? usually you just use a piece of it and place it over the scope/binoculars
