11/18/2002: Army patrol in Afghanistan

This picture is kinda interesting to me.. being in the National Guard, I'm used to getting second-rate equipment, or getting new equipment several years after the active duty Army.

But here's the 82nd Airborne, one of the big-shot regular infantry units, and they don't even have matching equipment. Their vests and web gear are woodland camouflage, while their uniforms and helmets are desert pattern. Well, most of their helmet anyway -- the chinstrap doesn't match either!
