Whats the deal with the SF guys growing beards anyway? Is it like some sort of hockey playoff thing? The longer it is the longer youve been there - that sort of thing?

PS: I dont see him consuming wine OR cheese so it cant be Oddball...

I think they are trying to blend in with the locals. There are some photos with these SF guys in convicing afghan costume...

Too much death and destruction for me.

Is that supposed to make us feel like lesser humans or did you just feel compelled to share your feelings?

I think the SF guys were told to smarten up since many of those pics were taken. They look less like locals more a bunch of pirates. Not good for 'hearts and minds'

Did anyone else notice the pics of a Swedish Gripen and German GSG9 on the linked thread. Off topic or what???????

it does have alot to do with local culture. These guys deal with the cheiftons and the religious elders. They are trusted more if they dont look like clean shaven yankee americans.
