Description
We ran them through a US weapons qualification. I loved the fact that not a single Italian soldier had a uniform identical to any other Italian soldier.Related content

Ah. Didn't spend much time with the Italian soldiers. I worked with some up at the KFOR HQ J6, and shot with them a couple times. We were in a rush, so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to chat with them. I liked to swap stuff with various armies. I have plenty of various patches, knives, and random other trinkets.
It was always inspiring to see so many folks from so many countries getting together for a good time.
