At the end of a convoy in which he received and returned fire with his 50 calibre machine gun, U.S. Marine turret gunner Cpl. Ian Bole, of Port Royal, South Carolina, wearing a face mask with a skull design, breathes steam on a cold day inside an armored vehicle in the Pech Valley, Kunar province, northeastern Afghanistan on Thursday Jan. 28, 2010.
This would be more epic if he was about to jump out of a plane or in full gear coming out of water. Still… KICK ASS!
saw a dude on a chopper with one of these on, as well as a brain bucket. was a little confusing to look at and was hella distracting, but it looked cool.
I was tempted to get one of these when I bought my Harley, but decided against it. You see them a little too often out here.
Watch you get killed buy a guy with some rags, preserved goat meat and a home-make pipe-bomb made in a garbage dumb.
Speaking of garbage dumbs…
It gets cold there?
“And the world just fuck’n watched…”
Yes, it gets cold in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Especially Afghan, since it’s mostly mountainous terrain.
On my first tour of duty to Iraq, we had a light dusting of snow on a December morning, was pretty cool. (pun intended)
With all my BFBC2 experience… you couldn’t pay me to be a turret gunner. Way to easy to get sniped.
Not with all the metal and ballistic glass surrounding the now.
You the man, Rios!
