POTD: U.S. Marines – Maritime Raid Force
TFB’s Photo Of The Day has never been so diversified. Today we have U.S. Marines with the Maritime Raid Force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, getting their uniforms wet in Japan. Looking above, is this what you imagine Special Forces look like and do every day? I think the firearm may be a plastic gun, what do you think?

Some serious Apocalypse Now vibes here.

These are real guns (and real optics), which is why they bothered to seal the muzzle.
Wonder how the communication gear works after being totally submerged under water.
