Marines don't wear patches on their MCCUU. But the Army does. They love their patches.

As you said, his boots aren't bloused, but if he were in the Army he'd get chewed out for not tucking his ACU trousers into his boots, along with the shag carpeting on his scalp. And in the context of 670-1, the US flag is improperly displayed -- it should be on the right shoulder, horizontally inverted, and on the flap of the shoulder pocket.

When your out on a COP in the middle of RC, some line grunts don't follow 670-1 to a T. To busy getting shot a every day for that shit. Though the patch is in the wrong spot.

Another Reason it's a Soldier.

Marines hate the M4s with a passion exceeding a trillion fiery supernovas.

I like to think Fuse and Kei lived happily ever after and escaped.

That is just an AR-15, with a VLTOR MUR upper containing a chrome BCG, probably young MFG, with a Daniel Defense Lite Rail 12 (I think) on the front. Standard lower with KNS antiwalk pins and possibly a magpul enhanced trigger guard, Magpul PRS stock. Optics are some kind of scope mount based on the Larue cantilever M2 mount (with something that is not an AIMpoint Comp M2 mounted in it, a good way to lose zero on an optic). Not sure on the model of suppressor...might be a OPS but it's impossible to tell at this level of detail. Fore-grip is probably some kind of surefire setup (M900 series I think). Nondescript railpanels and what appears to be a fixed HK-416 front sight round out the setup. No rear sight I can see, which is somewhat odd...

iirc SR25 is 7.62x51, I think its a Vltor upper, not too sure on the lower

no that is a SAM-R i believe (Squad Advanced Marksman Rifle) used by the USMC as a Designated marksman rifle, its been modified from the original M16/AR family has a standardized rail system for add-ons and scopes and quick detach sound suppressor, same 5.56mm as the M16, usually they have a bipod in front rather then a pistol grip though.

Marines don't wear ACUs this is a joint task force(JTF) attachment to NATO, probably a US ranger but theres no way to tell seeing as how you cant see his insignia patches.

It's incredibly obvious that it's a soldier, not a marine.

He's wearing ACU (Army Combat Uniform).

Or maybe the U.S. Flag stenciled to the side of his arm.

Probably a US Army soldier. Boots aren't bloused, and USMC uniforms don't usually have the big honking velcro patch on the outside of the shoulder pocket.
