Green camo is acceptable, but he would love for us to dress like Taliban, Arabs, Chechens, and what not. He also encourages 'insurgent' behaviour, by hiding our primaries and inquiry upon ISAF as to the location of our goats. IEDs encouraged, but optional.

I don't know about the rest of you, but the Devil Dogs are Italian insurgents. Thanks to Drunken Teddy's quick thinking.

Hey

What does an Italian insurgents look like????
I would figure something like this:

But for it to be authentic they would need scuffed up slip on shoes no socks and a few chips in their Espresso cups :lol: :lol: :lol:

A Pocket Squre would be optional.

I'm interested in the South American style.

It looks like our gear with just an added brassard or armband.
.... OH, wait. Like the "human resistance", too. (IMDB stills) I think we can use them as a shortcut for getting more real-world inspiration.
