I made another comment but my guess is the image in the meme is roughly Gulf War era... I've not been in the military but I don't think ACOGs became a thing that was basically standard issue untill... well even before you went to boot in 09.
I'm thinking this picture was taken some time in the 90s, probably, maybe early 00s, is what I'm trying to say.

Nah, digi cammies weren't gulf war. Dudes wore old deserts in Fallujah, IIRC. I did boot in '09, and we qual'd ironsights, and got to SOI in August 2009 and we had ACOGs. I believe boot went ACOGs shortly after that. We also had A2s in boot in '09, and A4s in SOI. Full digi was sometime in 2004, and Fallujah was earlier that year, and so you saw guys in old cammies and digi.
