No doubt in my mind that they are Chemtrails masquerading as clouds.

Doesn't that carrying handle get in the way of his line of sight through the optics?

I'm not sure I would want my face covered by a shiny, reflective surface in a tactical situation. That carrying handle also has the weapon's iron sights. Putting it that far forward does seem like it would interfere with the optics and throw off the iron sights as well. Is this from a film? It looks kind of cool, but I don't know about the practicality.

It is a Iraqi counter- terrorism service member (CTS) in the town of Bartalla, east of Mosul from last week.

RCAF Station Ottawa, 1960. Click for a larger image. Does anyone have a working time machine?  I would love to stand on the tramac and take in the sounds and smells of this era.
