[/URL] (AP) Thousands of U.S. Marines and Afghan soldiers stormed the Taliban stronghold of Marjah before dawn Saturday, February 13th, sweeping by air and ground against scattered resistance into the biggest southern town under militant control. The massive offensive was aimed at breaking the Taliban grip over a wide area of their southern heartland.

Wieder mal sehr tolle Bilder. Sind auch wieder einige interessante Kombinationen zu sehen (Mich + LWH Chinstrap) usw.

Allerdings stellt sich mir jetzt mal eine generelle Frage: Wie ist eigentlich die Verteilungspolitik bei den Marines wenn es um die Westen geht. Auf einigen Bildern ist ja das Verhältnis von MTV Westen sehr unterschiedlich. Bevor die ins Einsatzland losfligen bekommen die dann eine Weste auf gut Glück, persöhnliche Vorliebe oder je nach Einheit? Dachte die MTV ist die 0815 standart Weste jetzt und die ganzen anderen eher für die "Elite". Bei der Army ist ja fast das selbe. Da targen auch viele PCs obwohl doch die iOTV die standart Weste ist. Irgendwie will mir das alles nicht ganz aufgehen. Wär schön wenn mal jemand erklären könnte wie das zustande kommt.
