The profile of the body armor looks exactly like one a number of our jundi wore. It has a large, high collar, easy to distinguish from IBA. Everything about the guy in the picture, from his gear to his weapons carriage, screams Iraqi Army. Christian,

First, the helmet has no comm gear on it, no NOD bracket, the vest comes too far out on the upper shoulders (looks like an old-school flak jacket), no hip holster and...no HK 416 with optical devices attached. Just to name a few... I'm telling you it's a myth that special operators carry AKs. Maybe an OGA guy who has no log chain will carry native weapons, but spec ops guys care a lot about accuracy. AK isn't too accurate. Oh, and the photographer said it wasn't a spec ops guy... Jay,
