Troops' clothing

[RyanH 14]

GI (government-issued) used to mean high quality when it came to military apparel. Now, it looks like AI (asian imports) are the preferred stock of our boys in combat. Snagged this off MSN.

Looking at it again, it looks like a bomb technician's vest. I guess in case he has to run!!!

Or maybe it's Forest Gump!!

That is a Flak Jacket not a bomb vest. Going by the way that uniform fits so loose, it may be a civillian who is dressed up for the moment, or a reporter. A Soldier can wear "soft shoes" if they have a foot problem that is diagnosed from a military doctor.

Good call! That, and the fact that he has no weapon.

Iv been out of the army for 20 years now. still have foot problems from those damn combat boots. At least before I got out they started allowing PT in soft shoes. Used to have to run in boots!
