Now all we have to do is find out where the buggers are. I think we might be getting close though. Remember, right before we found Saddamm we had killed a couple of his high command and captured Dr. Germ, one of his biowarfare scientists. Then we killed his two spud in a firefight.

Not too sure if the depiction is meant to represent Aussies or Commonwealth forces in general (soldier is wearing British DPM). Here's a photo of two different Aussie camo patterns in Afghanistan:

On the left is the desert pattern with the temperate pattern on the right. More desert pattern:
