When out in the field the vast majority will not use twists as the strings are there in the bottom of the legs for that purpose. Personally I don't blouse the legs when in the field.
As has been said the wearing of beards is permitted when out on ops where water is more important to be consumed than used for shaving. Not only that but a beard is seen as a good thing within the Afghan culture.
The one thing I would say is definitely wrong is the way that the flag is shown as they are "upside down".
Other than that a cracking job, well done |
thank you sir! sorry about the flag, atleast i know now how it should be properly shown.
i think i know now how we messed it up. we were facing the other way and had the flag correctly, but the background had a hut that did not look good if the cameraman would have taken the pic. so he asked us if we could face the other way and he changed his angle, and we did. but the flag was facing the same way as we turned 180 degree.
