I need you all to look at this photo and tell me if you think the vest is what is being issued and worn in Iraq.

Also does the M-16 shown look small?

Is this a hoax?
The 'captured soldier' suspiciously looks like a doll for sale on the internet.


military analyst James Marks states -
Marks, a retired Army general, said he has several questions about the photograph's authenticity. A flak jacket the man is wearing in the picture has an unfamiliar kind of piping or trim along its edges, Marks said. The man's open-legged pants, as opposed to gathered hems, seem odd, he said. Marks also questioned what appeared to be camouflage paint on the man's face. "We have not used camo paint with conventional forces serving in Iraq," Marks said.

The M-16 is clearly a toy.

He doesn't look human to me. His face looks like a wax model figure or a doll, call me nuts.

tell me if I'm mistaken, but... doesn't this photo look a little odd... like a diorama/miniature setup made by a not-so-skilled modeller?

The image at that link seems to have been removed or the server is overloaded. Here's a copy I hosted elsewhere:

pretty awful similar, looking at it from my perspective, as a portrait artist

I showed my 14 year old son the picture telling him that an other American soldier has been captured in Iraq by insurgents.

His comments...Mom that picture is a fake. Nobody has hair like that and the gun is to small, also nobody holds a gun like that. When I told him the whole story and how it had fooled news agencies this afternoon he just shook his head and said "proof that adults are stupid" as he calmly walked out the door.....before I could throw something at him.

LOL! This has been a fun day.
