sightmark ? Horrible…
Careful guys. We’ll get sent to the kiddie table again.
My issue with his setup is height over bore issues. Look where it is in relation to his iron sight.
Although I did get into trouble in Afghanistan for using radiator clamps to attach an M68 aimpoint onto a Romanian AKM. Then I used wood screws to attach the PEQ-2 mount to the front grip. It actually worked like a charm. By tightening one clamp more than the other and digging it into the wood I was actually to get a usable zero at about 200m. But when one of the O’s saw it he had a conniption and wanted my a$$. Until the CSM reminded him of Haiti, where he was putting up a foreign national hooker in a hacienda paid for by team funds. Ah, those were high times, weren’t they?

The 327? 
ahhh … but the real craftsman does not use shoddy tools
In WWII, each Infantry regiment of the 101st Airborne used one of the card suites as their helmet insignia stenciled on to the sides. 501st PIR was Diamonds, 502nd PIR was Hearts, 506th PIR was Spades, and 327 GIR was Clubs. A tick mark at 6, 9, 12, or 3 o’clock denoted the battalion or HQ element.
Nowadays the 327 still wears a patch with a black club on the sides of their helmet covers. But the 327 Infantry is currently a light infantry Air Assault unit, not Mech, and has no Bradley’s, so the source of the Club insignia here should not be them.

Excellent case study showing how difficult it can be sometimes to report news.

Why do these soldiers feel they have to take photos of everywhere they are? Haven’t they lost enough people this way?
This is something that all militaries should be teaching their soldiers now.

There was a discussion here years ago about Facebook and why it was silly to worry about it. I do not have an account. There is a good reason why the US military bans TikTok.

Its not so much why the need to take pics. Its why the need to post pics so soon after taking them.
You would think it might be wise to have a very mobile hit and run Russian team barrel around the country side and post false position pics just to create some fog of war slowdown.
I have been watching a lot of Afgan and Iraq war videos on amazon over the last few days. most shot on video tape back then. Awesome personal stories with most 10 to 15 years after the action.

You would think so. OPSEC. Chain of command should take their phones for safekeeping until the unit is rotated out of combat. If they want to communicate with the folks back home, do it like soldiers have done for centuries before- write a letter. Not this new digital generation though…
