Bizarre photo of anonymous spec forces soldier. What is this thing?
[link to weapons.technology.youngester.com]



Click the photo to enlarge it. Take notice of the man on the left. His face is extremely odd; it doesn't even look human.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the hell is going on with his face?

I was just bored, waiting for a friend to get online, and decided to browse pictures on Google of various military dudes and gals, and came across this. I have have no Photoshop skills nor the skills to edit photos.

Notice his extremely pale skin as well as the enlarge brow and spacing between the eyes.

It looks like he has two items to cover his face, one thin white, and one dark (dark one slipped down). Then the Scott goggles have a large inside seal, making the inside of that look weird.

It's called a neck gator.


It's a quick drying wick away under armor-like piece of gear. You can wear like a cap' face mask' neck covering or all 3 at once. About $10usd and change.

Also great to sleep in when it's cold.

It's a nose guard like they use in the NBA. So if a bomb goes off it will support his nose and front facial area.

I think that's some kind of custom-designed face mask. Pretty cool.

He almost looks a bit like the Phantom of the Opera... Probably to scare enemies.

Re: Bizarre photo of anonymous spec forces soldier. What is this thing?
I see you're all very knowledgable with this stuff. In all honesty, I'm trying to see this white face sock you're all talking about. Having a bit of trouble. I'm not saying you're all incorrect though. Just having trouble seeing some sort of face sock.

Unless you're still all talking about his green balaclava.

Sura 49

Surah 49. The Private Apartments, The Inner Apartments

49:1. O Ye who believe! Put not yourselves forward before "I AM" and His Messenger; but fear "I AM": for "I AM" is He Who hears and knows all things.

49:2. O ye who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as ye may speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and ye perceive not.

49:3. Those that lower their voices in the presence of "I AM"'s Messenger,- their hearts has "I AM" tested for piety: for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.

49:4. Those who shout out to thee from outside the Private Apartments - most of them lack understanding.

49:5. If only they had patience until thou couldst come out to them, it would be best for them: but "I AM" is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

49:6. O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.

49:7. And know that among you is "I AM"'s Messenger: were he, in many matters, to follow your (wishes), ye would certainly fall into misfortune: but "I AM" has endeared the Faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He has made hateful to you Unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness;-

49:8. A Grace and Favour from "I AM"; and "I AM" is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.

49:9. If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of "I AM"; but if it complies, then make peace between them with justice, and be fair: for "I AM" loves those who are fair (and just).

49:10. The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: so make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear "I AM", that ye may receive Mercy.

49:11. O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): nor let some women laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: and those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.

49:12. O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: and spy not on each other, nor speak ill of each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear "I AM": for "I AM" is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

49:13. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of "I AM" is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And "I AM" has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

49:14. The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only) say, 'We have submitted our wills to "I AM",' for not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey "I AM" and His Messenger, He will not belittle anything of your deeds: for "I AM" is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

49:15. Only those are Believers who have BELIEVED "I AM" and His Messenger, and have never since doubted, but have striven with their belongings and their persons in the Cause of "I AM": such are the sincere ones.

49:16. Say: "What! Will ye instruct "I AM" about your religion? But "I AM" knows all that is in the heavens and on Earth: He has full knowledge of all things.

49:17. They impress on thee as a favour that they have embraced doing Our Will. Say, "Count not your doing His Will as a favour upon me: nay, "I AM" has conferred a favour upon you that He has guided you to Faith, if ye be true and sincere.

49:18. "Verily "I AM" knows the secrets of the heavens and the Earth: and "I AM" sees well all that ye do."

Cool your jets OP, I didn't say it was a "face sock", I said it COULD BE a kevlar mask.

But I agree, a mask beneath another mask doesn't make sense. We can see the bare skin of the other soldier's wrists, but the subject discussed here, has a black sleeve covering his arms.

But as long as I'm no expert in military gear, I won't push it too far, but the bio-android hypothesis is a go.

OP, THIS IS THE ANSWER RIGHT HERE:

He's wearing a mask. Its a white, face-shaped mask that goes over your face. Some of them are skeleton masks, some are just generic human-like contoured white masks. They were really popular (and still are) with spec ops operators in Iraq and A-Stan because of the perceived "infidel/white devil/psychological warfare/intimidation" mystique they wanted. It also serves the purpose of identity concealment, especially on missions where you have to capture an HVT or any target for that matter. You don't want anyone to recognize your face or to be seen on any surveillance footage.
