Incredible camouflage ! Nobody could suspect these are US soldiers. They completely blend into the Bagdad background. Wow !
I can't but suspect these guys are really having FUN with this ?!

In reference to this photo, please see my previous post on the deployment of the first Stryker Battalion to Iraq. This is in fact a Stryker variant which slipped through the congressional procurements commitee (friday afternoon at 18.30). For those of you who do not have fluent Arabic, the words on the sidecar read: YOU SENT IT, SO NOW WE'LL DAMN WELL USE IT!

The question this begs, that if this is now an 'official' variant does the Pentagon accept PayPal? If this is official, i'm gonna send them a few bucks to buy something a bit more discreet.... Jim #:-)

For those wishing to model this vehicle, Airfix had a model of a model of a m/c with sidecar, as an added bonus you get Wallace and Gromit as passengers...Jim #:-)
