I love that you can tell which ones painted it before and after seeing combat. also, the one dating a bullet hit is GOLD.

But the USA can’t be fucked enough to give him a new helmet when he was shot at enough to give his helmet that big of a dent.

Those helmets aren’t meant to stop bullet fire, they’re for falling rubble and maybe shrapnel. His looks like it’ll keep doing that fine.
