Those guys are freakin awesome!
The stuff they do over there just astounds me.
Wish we could even get away with trying junk like that.
We'd be in jail for "endangering lives". What a joke.
I found it funny that the last guy decided to adjust his burka thingy before getting back in the car. Gotta look good for the camera.
Keffiyeh or Gutra depending on where they are.
Two big reasons why they covered their faces.
1. If you've ever driven in the middle east in a vehicle with no AC, your windows are down. If your windows are down you usually have your face covered. Even when we weren't moving, if we were in our bunks in the FOB ... you always had the feeling of grit in your mouth.
2. Laws in those regions for this kind of thing are pretty harsh and can be imposed on the parents in many cases. They veiled themselves as to not be identified so easily.
When you live in a region dominated by right wing theological extremists ... your youth do some very peculiar things to entertain themselves.
Can't tell you how many kids I saw "pavement surfing" in their slippers holding on to cars doing in excess of 60 mph do face plants and cartwheels when their soles flew off.
