M17A2
A face mask so cool it makes your whole face look like a war zone. The Gulf War’s favorite accessory, often paired with a chemical hood that makes you look like a mad scientist who drinks beer through a tube.
My uncle wore it like it was a crown. He drank coffee through that tube like it was a royal decree.
I tried to wear it once. My face looked like it had been through a blender and a fire.
My brother said it was the only thing that kept him from crying during the Gulf War.
