    Possibly a hoax. Somebody there posted this in response:




    That brings back memories.

    Looks like they painted some poor sap up in black face and threw a cheap chinese airsoft vest on him.

    The pic is a toy that insurgents tried to pass off as an American several years ago.
    If I had a dollar for every time CAPITALISM was blamed for problems caused by the GOVERNMENT, I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.

    12 string guitars only have 6 extra strings, but they're 85 TIMES as likely to be used in a song about wizards.

    I got the model from Bandai.

    We have a winner!

    That pic was circulated to all the news media during the Iraq invasion claiming he was a soldier who been captured. One of the board members here confirmed it was a toy and the info was forwarded to Drudge. It was a proud day when Gunsnet had the most visits ever after we had been credited for busting the hoax.

    Wasn't the toy marketed as "Special Ops Cody" or some name like that?

    Edit: Images for "Special Ops Cody"
