Re: Worlds Armed Forces Pictures III

It sure does...Poor Frenchmens doesen't have proper cloves.

One of the biggest default in our army was also the lack of proper cloves. We had these weak greenleather cloves that had no warming factors at all. Only other solution were combined leather/wool mittens which were quite illustrately called "no-can-do's"....tough I managed to disasemble/assemble my AK with those on (and with the green leather cloves inside those!!)

Being in the army is a one thing, being there at winter in here up north is another..
