Besides the obvious face, several other items didn't match.
1. Wrong uniform pattern
2. Ammo Vest/Load Bearing Equipment was unfamiliar...and he was still wearing it (at least in the US Army, we disarm our prisoners)
3. The M-4 Carbine's weathering (The vertical lines in the pic) were the same on the "metal" portions of the receiver and barrel as they were on the hand-guards.
4. Also, most people wouldn't hold an M-4 without grabbing the pistol grip.

The list goes on and on... As does the traitorous nature of the Left and the Media as they jumped all over this. I would have wrote in sooner today on this, but the Army's IT people classify FreeRepublic as a "Chat site" and block us from even reading it at my base

Your #17 is really stunning in several ways. Thanks for everything you do.

I'll bet they grant access to MSM websites. FR is more accurate and right on the money more times than MSM. FR has proven itself time and time again.
