#1 Anyone got a idea of the color patch on the right sleeve of the troop in the picture? Unsubdued usually isn't SOP for most American units, not to mention what appears to be the standard side arm in the group either.

#2 NATO partners pictured here, possibly Albanians. I'm not certain. Definately not US.

#6 I was told once by someone I thought should know (could be pulling my leg though, he did that from time to time (or he was full of shit)) the reason hams are so prized in Spain goes back in the day eating pig was an act of defiance against the moors.

#7 Anybody wanna bet that now that its on the web, our DoD and the fools in the WH forbid wearing that, lest our 'Muslim brothers' be offended?
Too bad the Marines didn't have them when Pinata made them disarm for his little get together.
