No offence, but that is the cliched excuse I hear from alot of semi knowledgeble people and non geardos on gear.

From the thousands of SF and SOF pictures I have seen there is most of the time a very strong underlining consistency in the way certain things are done.

SOF is limited in
1. What kit they are issued
2. What is practical...there is less variation than one would like to imagine.
3. Personalization

Those who use the above excuse usualy follow none or very little of one of these underlining concepts, hence, why their kit falls very short of looking much like SF.

I can understand Graham is just roughly winging it, which is fine, its the way he wants to do things, and I can respect that.

However for anyone to claim that it is somehow following what true SF is, is well, just not true.
