    As in what? Different camo? Different background? What exactly am I supposed to be comparing?

    Green biased DPM works just fine in the marshes around Al Fawr and Al Basrah - especially when mixed with some sand. The A2 works just fine thanks, the PRR is a US bit of kit (IIRC) and works very well. I believe the USMC use a similar radio. As to helmets, each to his own... If someones shooting at me, maybe. Otherwise I like to see, hear and not freak the f**k out of the natives...

    But hey, I like MarPat, the M4's not bad (although the C8 is better) and the rest of Bowman is about as much use as **** on a fish.

    It does look like a US radio, from what I can see, but I was just making a jab at the problems the Brit military has had with their own systems a few years ago and might still be having right now, ASFAIK. I can't remember the name of it but I remember hearing soldiers had to resort to using cell phones b/c it was so unreliable. And as for the L85, well, I'm sure everyone's heard the horror stories. :P I've heard mixed things about the A2 but anythings gotta be better than the original. Just good natured ribbing, my friend, I have the utmost respect for the British military, especially the Marines, it's not their fault the goverment gives them crap kit.

    Well, its only in the last couple of years that we (USMC) have finally started getting good individual kit. Untill then the British individuals kit was about a thousand times better than the **** we had.
