uh, why did they use MS Paint to cover part of those guy's faces? The same image, only not "watermarked" like these guys claim can be found here on this very website:

I just find it wierd that these two guys are wearing the exact same hat, and both (for some reason) have a Harris Bipod on their weapons. They sure as hell don't look like snipers. Someone was definitely trying to show off their gear.

Can anyone tell me what kind of underwear these guys are wearing, and also, what kind of toothpaste do they use.

No idea on the skivvies - it's hot, and they're high speed, so they might be going commando. As for toothpaste, some type of colgate would be my guess. It's minty fresh. :D

just some general information (reality check) i would like to share with a few who are lacking. every special ops unit has access to a wide variety of gear. i know some marine and army infantry guys with m4 grips some of you say are only for certain spec op units. a few smart people on this board have correctly pointed out the truth that you can't identify a guy's unit by his gear. i know you think you can but you can't. for instance, there are over 3,000 seals. do you know what gear each seal has? this may come to a shock to some of you, but the national guard, air national guard, and all the reserves have many high speed special op units that where or are in iraq. they go everywhere and do everything. they get the same training, do the same training, and get deployed with the same or better gear (smaller units with more cash per capita) than thier active duty counterparts. the reserve unit of seal team 5 has been used in every conflict i can think of in recent history. check out the pararescue pictures from the 129th rescue battalion of the california air national guard (www.129rqw.ca.ang.af.mil/default.asp?p=photos) click on (around the wing 2001-2002), see for yourself.

Thank you for that comment. As a former Marine grunt, I would like to add something. In garrison, we always looked the same - shiny boots and pressed cammies. In the field, especially during cold or inclement weather, we often resembled a group of vagabonds.

You know...one of you brought up a good point. They could just be posing to show off gear. Hell...they are wearing the exact same thing except for the eyewear. And i'm sure that bodyguard personnel wouldn't be looking down like that.

I dont claim to know who they are but if you look at picture number 80 in the same USMC gallery, thats the best set up Ive ever seen. How much did e-bay pay the General?

nice CovCom! One again proving the wannabe's wrong! Hey wannabe's, you are telling me a guy can't be in protection because there is a picture of him looking down? and operators can't wear the same gear? give me a break! where is your logic? think before you type.

It's real. Those two guys are DEVGRU, on a vip protection mission in Iraq. As it has already been pointed out, there are more photos of these guys on this site.

Sigh... we've come to this topic once again. I think (hope) that everyone will agree with the following: Devgru/Delta wear civvies and have beards and long hair and all that. Right? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Redhawk; lol, please, fill us in on how you came to the astute assessment that those two gentlemen in question are Infact Navy Specwarfare DEVGRU? Oh, and don't bull **** and mention anything about gear, as that is a cop-out wannabe answer. That, or the other attention flager "Because it's under the Devgry/Delta" section. Which, is rather idiotic as well. The admins on this site (Respectfully) don't have as much clue as to the identity of the majority of operators in the CPP world as I do (And I don't have any).Unless you are in the know, or know someone there who told you, don't even bother guessing.

Sorry guys, this type of thing pisses me off.
