You must be blind then because anyone who isn't color-blind can see the difference between French and US woodland.

Shoes are ALL wrong for US guys. Never, ever seen one of my guys wearing black tennis shoe like boots. Closest thing would be HiTecs and they still look bootish. I vote French also!

Do you guys even read the captions? These photos are from the weapons handover at Port au Prince on 17th March, and those soldiers are French troops from COS (Commandement des Operations Speciales), very badly translated in the caption as "Special Commando Operations". Besides the obvious fact that they are wearing French uniforms, with French flags, are carrying weapons used by french troops, are wearing French webbing and are shown on the French Defence Ministry Website. And it's not just US troops who wear sunglasses. And if you can't tell US woodland from French Central European, then you shouldn't be on this forum.

I find it very hard to believe that a Swede or any other westerner have no knowledge of what Oakley or Rayban is.

http://www.rayban.com/

Rayban is like the Levi's of sunglasses.
Oakley was all the hoot a few years back. Not very cool anymore, but I guess those GI's are too busy eating other peoples food to notice ;)

French SF usually use the French Bollé tactical goggles and glasses also

Bollé goggles are currently in use by U.S. Special Forces, Navy Seals, Army Rangers and many SWAT Teams

They are french because they are wearing french uniforms with snaps used to close the pockets so even if the camo is still close from the US woodland the BDU's or DCU's don t use snaps.
