Yes, I built this: Intel Q6600 @ Stock, EVGA 8800GT SC edition 679/1697/1000, 2gb OCZ RAM DDR2 800, all in an EVGA nForce 680i Sli motherboard!

Airborne units have nets on their helmets as opposed to the standard issue elastic helmet covers to enable them to attach scrim (natural foliage-location dependant)for the use of camoflauge, whilst reducing the danger of "snagging" as they deploy their parachutes (a practice still carried out by modern British airborne units today). The same can be said for "Para Smocks" in the place of standard field jackets, these smocks come equipped with popper buttons instead of standard buttons, again to stop things getting caught up!

It can also be rigged to a tree to capture German soldiers and various small animals.

Wow... It wasn't used for fishing. It was use to put cloth and stuff for Cammo.

A. Don't Necropost, especially for something as silly as that.

B. You are idiotic for believing that joke.
