    This series laid the foundation for media coverage of the later Iraq war. Profiles crews were the first in recent times embedded with U.S. forces in combat. They also were embedded with U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan and at other fronts of the war on terrorism.

    Richard Mackenzie led the production in Afghanistan, working with Special Operations and with infantry units.

    I looked at this picture and started to pick when would be a suitable time to get my eyes tested...

    And is it just me or is the focal point of the image/ the central non-blur area really around the middle soldier's buttocks?

    Superb pix, but please link HIRES images instead.
    This saves us all the bandwidth to load the page faster.

    It's a photographic technique called Pan-Shift

    It is, but. That image is taken by zooming while the shutter opens and closes to create that particular blur effect. And that's why the focus is still pretty centered.
    Great photos.

    NEVER seen an operator mount optics to a removable carry handle like this before. Any advantages this has in CQB versus shooting with a proper cheek mold?

    Maybe shooters preference, but is commonly done by guys who do alot of work in respirators to give them clearance and eye relief

    My guess is that the operator is using the eotech on a carrying handle due to his size. seems like he's quite tall and using the sight mounted on the carrying handle make it more natural to get into firing position..

    The coms (comtac) sometimes gets in the way of a nice cheek weld also. I use to have that kind of problem with my old sordin.

    I've never had that problem and I've used peltors for years. Everybody's different I guess
