They are not wearing insignia because they have jackets on. Insignia don't go on that particular type of jacket - in the Air Force we just called them "the Gortex jacket" - regardless of your unit.

They send cameras with every group, from what I've read. Some of them seem to have cameras on their guns, so that they're equipped whatever action they are sent on.

I'm sorry, I could refer you to specific threads on FR but I have to leave the house. But I remember that they had pictures of the capture, taken at the time of finding Saddam in his hidey-hole. It just surprises me that this one, even with the face of the soldier obliterated, was ever released. I wonder if someone sent it home to family, and this is how it came to be published?

Hey, whoa, when I blow up that picture, it looks like a portion of his mustache is MISSING on the left side (his left side) of his lip, below the nose. Does anyone else see that?

They all wear them if they are on patrol - stopping cars, etc. I've seen pictures of them, on one knee, with gun at the ready. It saves the knees from mud. They may be in desert but they aren't always in dry terrain.

Look for some other pictures of troops from Iraq. You'll see the kneepads. Some even have them only on one knee, which looks a little stranger than this one.
