I'm guessing it's weaved into the ghillie next to him...
I don't know if people IN pictures can get credit for them. The photographer has the rights, but I don't really know. My partner from basic course is featured in tons of books shooting the SASR from inside a room in Ramadi but I don't think he gets anything for it.
This is the greatest Sniper pic ever from an OP, it's my friend Ben, but I wish it'd been me...
HAHA that made laugh for a good 5 mins.....hilarious:)>:{
