I wasn't aware US soldiers in the field
all dress in wife-beaters and bandannas, and generally look like a bunch of bums. These guys the protagonist rides with look like they've been abandoned to the wilderness for years.

shareActually the "trend"for the past few years have turned the special forces guys looking like lumberjacks and hobos so this film was spot on. Contractors are cleaner and wear Polo shirts on missions with their hair styled.
shareActually...There was an big expose' in the press a few years back, about US special forces looking like bearded bums in the field. The brass and the powers that be were not happy about it. I can't say if anything's changed though. Like all sensationalized news these days. It made headlines. Then was soon forgotten, with no follow-up stories.
Yea theres a stereo type that US elite military are all neck beards.
shareSpecial forces and ops do not have grooming standards. Marines do though. Spec ops guys go in deep recon and missions and look scrubby for a reason. The beards is to help blend in, especially in Muslim culture. Beards represents manhood in the Muslim world. Try asking a villager a question without a beard and he'll tell you to F off.

Still stalking me pussy? You must feel special you can talk *beep* anonymously. Give it a rest little man. If you can't do it face to face, don't try here. I would literally *beep* you up in any kind of altercation.
Acting tough until you're beaten half to death or staring down a barrel of a gun, tankitty. I would hurt you so badly, you would crawl your way back up your whore mother's *beep*

This isn't World of Warcraft, nerd. You're a gamer living in your mother's basement, don't pretend that you have any toughness in you. Keep stalking me, it's all you can do with your pathetic little life. Just remember, you would never act this way to anyone in real life. Anonymous internet tough guy alter ego only works when you're punching in letters, little *beep*

Yeah, as if you know anything about villagers in the Muslim world. Get real, you dickhead.
I think that might be true in certain areas of the Middle East, but not all.
My husband is Arab/Muslim and while he does wear a beard, he has many Arab/Muslim friends who do not.
Maybe, as you mentioned - it is more prevalent in very rural/village type areas.
Also, huge Muslim populations span Africa/Middle East/Asia and all have very different cultures and customs.
I gave up on it after getting one look at those guys.
shareEverything about this movie was so painful to sit through, the wardrobe was the least of my concerns. I lasted about 30 minutes before I started browsing the web.
