12-258 Garand Picture of the day

We posted recently about a cache of 5000 German STG-44 rifles found in Syria as well as a few STG-44s seen in action, well it looks like the STG-44 isn’t the only WWII weapon being used by Syrian rebels. It looks like an M1 Garand is still seeing some action in Syria. Posted over at MilitaryPhotos.net, the fighter seen above looks like the odd man out with his WWII relic while his buddies are all sporting AKs. Honestly thought, I’d rather use the M1 Garand too.

Those hombres who won't be seen without their ski masks give me the creeps. Dya recon his is a Greek non-return?

That M1 looks in pretty good shape too.

I agree Bob, the masks equate terrorism to me, no matter what action or country.

A possible alternative explanation: The gov. controls a lot of Syria, and may win the war. It is quite possible that if their faces show up on the internet/news, the Gov. will kill them or their families as soon as it can. I certainly would not want a Gov, especially a gov I was rebelling against, to be able to use facial recognition software on my face to target my wife or kids.

I agree with Bob, masks equate terrorism.
