http://dailycaller.com/2011/03/31/dont-forget-your-hijab-soldier-american-servicewomen-encouraged-to-wear-headscarves-in-afghanistan/ The more I study their culture, the more I realize the irreconciliable nature between their civilization and others. It turns out that both Fukuyama and Huntington are right and wrong about different aspects.

Wear/don't wear... that's arguable.  But (and the only data I have is this one picture, so I have no idea what the "rest" of the story is) if part of this "suggestion" also includes having our female soldiers *NOT* wear their kevlar, then somebody's head(s) should roll for endangering our female soldiers' lives!!!

Their load-bearing vest is apparently a plate carrier. From the look of it, they all have plates in.
