DAMN IT! BECAUSE IT’S AN AIRSOFT!

-The sticker on the side (that’s not a flag, german army rifles do NOT have a flag on it)

- G36C; KSK uses G36K, normal troopers a full size G36.

- suppressed rifle; german army uses just G36K and G22 in a silenced version.

- Nomex gloves; standardissue gloves look different.

I concur. The person who made this caption is ignorant.

The person approving this for publishing on the page is no better!

Aahhh…. That makes a lot of sense now, thank you. I’ve never actually read a “graphic novel.” (They’re more expensive (in the local bookshop, anyway (Which only seems to have Graphic novels about Wolverine)) and have fewer words for your money and I’m stingy) Maybe I should start reading them.

Gaiman wrote a bunch of groundbreaking graphic novels.

By: AC

How did Neil Gaiman get so famous considering he hasn’t written all that much? I like him (well I read Neverwhere and American Gods) but I don’t really get it…

IT IS agerman soldier with Flecktarn camo. The caption is totally stupid, because its a camo for middle european environment, which as you may know, lacks jungles totally. Whoever made the caption made a total fool out of himself!

Oh, and John Crowley’s “Little, Big.”

Ah, a Gaiman fan, gotcha. You should read China Mieville if you haven’t already.

I read Speaker for the Dead and then couldn’t get through Xenocide, snoresville. I know about Ender’s shadow but I haven’t read it.
@Seth, I think my brother has read all the George R.R. Martin stuff but I started moving away from the sword and sorcery stuff around the time I discovered Neil Gaiman.

Hey Jane, have you read any of the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series by George R. R. Martin? Great fantasy.

By: tyler

tyler — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:45:46 +0000

Oooh, Speaker and that whole series is a good one.

By: dissimilitude

dissimilitude — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:33:10 +0000

@Tyler: Yes, that’s the one. I’m planning on snagging Speaker For the Dead from my son the next time I think about it; I want to read one next.

By: tyler

tyler — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:20:41 +0000

Diss, is it through Bean’s eyes? I’ve read all the Ender series books, I believe.
@ Jane- Try reading Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. AMAZING writing there by Douglas Adams.

By: dissimilitude

dissimilitude — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:16:49 +0000

Jane, have you read Ender’s Shadow? Also pretty awesome; basically the same events through the eyes of another of the kids involved.

By: tyler

tyler — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:14:37 +0000

Fantasy, Jane? I just read through this again and you have NO idea how hard it is not to make a dirty joke. Anyway, fantasy is terrific and for winners and I do like some sci-fi too, as long as it is deliciously terrific.

Another thing: He uses Nomex gloves. Germen standard issue gloves look quite different.

It’s really an airsoft player.

By: Phil

Phil — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:09:51 +0000

Flecktarn was developed in Germany in 1976. Introduced to the german troops around 1990. Belgium ALSO used it for their air force troops from 1988 up to 1992, but it is still a german camo.

This made me LOL. Sorry for your poor head.

By: Phil

It’s not member of KSK. An no soldier, too. It’s an airsoftplayer in a german uniform. A standard uniform. KSK does NOT wear kind of uniform, they’re more special.

The guy in the photo wears a G36C. Used by KSK, true. But that’s never been captured on a photo. They normally use a G36K. Normal soldiers carry a normal full size G36.

That, and:
Really, by.justin. (captioner)? You think that the only green/brown camo anyone’s ever made is only for the jungle? Maybe you’d like to wear your “jungle” camo in 1990′s Eastern Europe, or in the forests of WWI and II? Does that suit your Jungle Fever?
Get out of here…

Ah, thanks. Yeah I love fantasy but pretty much hate sci-fi. The only thing I’ve ever read that could be classified as sci-fi was Ender’s Game.

Alright, I’m just saying it, and this is going to sound really geeky, but does anyone else think german troops in the flektarn camo look like the Imperial Guard from Dawn of War? Maybe it’s the shoulder pad things. I kind of like their older uniforms better…..errr….not the ones with swastikas on them before anyone says that XD.

In that case, you probably don’t want to let yourself be “flanked”…doh.

By: Nyquist

No, he isn’t. German camouflage, bodyarmour, paratrooper helmet, silenced Heckler+Koch G36 …. maybe KSK or pathfinder

By: wright

wright — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:20:15 +0000

@ Reni

I concur, the Flektar camo is very German… Plus you’re correct the flag on the rifle is a dead giveaway…
