I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Somebody water the plant out on the front porch.
Why is he wearing US issue desert tan boots? And US issue gloves? A little conflicting for a Green Ghillie suit. Same thing with his weapon. I agree based off the photo and the highly polished black jump boots, it was a photo op. I think the "sniper" in question may be a US guy though.
