    USMC Kits (Kneepads?)

    This is rather random but, I noticed that the Assault, Support and AT kits don't have kneepads. It's nothing big but I was just wondering why they don't. Any ideas?

        becuase the spec ops have to crawl around palces and need to keep their knees safe... and the medics have to jump to the ground all the time to save people and could really hurt themselves.

        the other classes are cannon fodder and thus no-one cares about their knees

                  Current spec-ops teams in places like villages in afghanistan (SP?) whos job is to police the joint and hunt out weapons caches and keep the local bad-guys at bay, try to blend in with the locals and relate to them as much as possible. So, they wear more casual clothing, and grow big beards (it's a cultural necessity). I don't know if this has anything to do with why the spec-ops has a hat and shades and a cute little scarf thing, but regardless, it's a nifty bit of info. I saw it on TV or something of that nature.

                  So EA, how 'bout those beards?

                    helmets are also a bit clumsy/bulky for stealthy operations, i suppose

                    gotta love those wrap-around shades perched on the cap, tho =)

                            Clinton's interns wore all the other pairs out...so there's a shortage.
