I need you all to look at this photo and tell me if you think the vest is what is being issued and worn in Iraq.

Also does the M-16 shown look small?

It looks like an M-4, not a M-16. The vest though, looks odd. Doesn't look like anything I've seen on one of our soldiers. If this video is authentic, then they might have strapped explosives to him.

Right on the money! The gun looks freakishly small.

Did this turn out to be a case of better fact checking on FR than in the MSM? Is this another FR MSM busting post right here?
