SEALs

[He219]

Welcome back Mat

Found these in another forum. Could understand the language but they spelled "SEALs" right.

I'm pretty sure none of those are SEAL's. In fact IIRC the first and last ones are confirmed Army SF.

Thanks about that last one.

1st picture=Army SF fighting with Marines in Fallujah, Nov. 2004

2nd Picture=No idea, never seen it before.

3rd Picture=I believe Army SF engaging target in Najaf, 2004.

4th Picture=Army SF in either Baghdad or Ramadi, 2005-2006.

That's just what I remember from the captions. But I could most certainly be wrong and so could the captions.

Good job.

All Army SF, except the 3rd one, which is a SEAL

Now I have to take everything you say with a pinch of salt.

(NYT106) FALLUJAH, Iraq -- Dec. 16, 2004 -- 2004-YEAR-REVIEW-6 --Soldiers with U.S. Special Forces during heavy fighting in Falluja, Nov. 8, 2004. (Shawn Baldwin/The New York Times)

Marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit escort detainees back to a vehicle after capturing them during a raid in Jabella, Iraq, Jan. 19. Six CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters ferrying a joint strike force -- composed of elements of the Iraqi SWAT team, the 24th MEU's Force Reconnaissance platoon and U.S. Army troops -- swarmed the target, a crop of houses believed to shelter a number of militants and a stockpile of weapons and munitions. The raid kicked off Operation Checkmate, a fresh offensive aimed at disrupting insurgent activity ahead of national elections later this month.

A little homework is in order prior to posting images.

Thanks, He. It only goes to show you can't trust other forums when it comes to identifying authentic SOF pics.

Anyway, I was wondering why all the rifles are pointed up in this pic instead of pointing to the general direction of the threat. Thanks.

A U.S. Navy SEAL prepares for a night mission to capture Iraqi insurgent leaders July 27, 2007 near Fallujah, Iraq. American Special Forces operate throughout Iraq, targeting 'high-value targets' in commando raids, often at night to take advantage of their night vision superiority.

[kuneho]

Could be a talented SEAL made it, who knows. Anyway, I find the satanic symbol in the background more intriguing.

I love that giant frog skeleton. It pops up in google/yahoo image search when you type in "frog skeleton."

[jagermeister]

looks like the anarchy symbol to me

[freedomofold]

Modern day pirate flag. That is my guess.

I thought the same thing too, but looking closer it looks like they cut the sleeves off a tshirt, and wore it over the bdu.

Dont ask me why, cause Im not high speed like them

probably same as crye's combat shirt, and wore it over any vest/plate carrier/chest rigs/body armor.

or an Under Armour shirt then a 3 color BDU sleeve sewn into place

just my guess tho
