LOL....we had the Winston P. Wilson match here locally (foreign troops compete with National Guard Units in shooting), and I escorted some French and Italian types to DARC (Direct Action Resource Center (Arkansas' Xe Services LLC-type training facility)) for some shooting fun with a local SWAT team.

Everyone was in BDUs/ACUs/duty uniforms, and the French and Italians that were assigned to KFOR had on their blue berets. As the Rangemaster was giving his safety brief, he was quoting the fields of fire and told the French and Italians to look north at a cluster of homes in the treeline.

He told them, "I don't know if you French and EYEtalians have ever heard of the word "redneck", but over younder is a bunch of mean-ass rednecks that are just itchin' to shoot at a UN helmet, so if I were you, I'd remove your blue headgear and put them in your cargo pocket".

Man, when the translator translated that to them, they all looked north and immediately took off their UN berets. For the next hour, whenever they got a chance, I would always find them looking north. LOL!
