I'm a Navy guy and was laughing at this guy's picture. Beret folded in the wrong direction

It's the same direction you generally see the Iraqi insurgents toss the end of the towel around their head/face, so as to not interfere with a rifle or RPG launcher held up to their right cheek.

A beret or ski mask offers no such challenge. But old habits die hard.

BTW: the French Foreign Legion and the Vietnamese Rangers, Special Forces/BDQ, and american advisors and straphangers thereof did indeed wear their beanies *pulled left*.
