I understand, hearts and minds, ie showing that we can accept parts of a foreign culture we are operating in. But I would think tactically a 42"x 42" piece of camo material would be better used. Why go the lengths of having a multi-cam knife handle, webbing and boots to match everything else and then throw on a black and tan checkered shemag? </div></div>
Like that piece of cloth is going to give your 15 foot tall 32 ton MRAP's position away?
I don't know about Afghanistan (I should be finding out realtively soon) but in Iraq they knew your location and probably knew where you were going.
If we wanted to be tactical we wouldn't be wearing 70lbs of bullshit on us! </div></div>
Yeah that all makes sense. A overt mission, is overt, you could be wearing a green cadpat uniform in the desert and still do the job. Iam just saying if your trying to use cam for concealment, there might be better option then a shamag. Plus I like the to support north american products.
Not tryen to say the guys usen them aren`t doin a fine job. I sure a ton more ass kicking is done by our guys wearing them, then there is done by insurgent wearing them
