No ID, and has SF type pockets on his sleeves... I wonder...

[FuturePara]

Not to mention the MICH helmet. Recon, SF? Or maybe just a well kitted out FAST operator? What do you guys think?

[FallenAngel]

also has an M4 with KAC on it....few of those floating around the Corps. Take a wild guess who's got most of them ;)

I dont think "non-combat logistics and training teams" are the only ones in Liberia... A "marine" with Mich helmet, M-4 and Special operations style BDU's... IMHO could be force recon.
