Can someone answer this question? The Israeli troops put on a "helmut" that looks like a ladies' hair dryer cap. Like an enlarged beret. Like a puffy pancake on their heads. Like a ladies' shower cap greatly enlarged. What the heck is it and what purpose does it serve? Inquiring minds want to know (mine).

if you are talking about the bag, its a camoflage netting to allow a soldier to blend. the shape of the head apparently is something the eye catches...so just like the sniper outfits its meant to disfigure that round shape thereby making someone harder to spot...
