I would like to throw my two cents in if I may.  I can almost promise you it is photo shopped, it looks like they used the color replacement tool if you look at the rivets and the combat fatigue of the structure.  Either way it is an awesome job, made me laugh out loud when I saw it.

And for those of you wondering what branch, definately army or navy judging by the jumpsuits the occupants are wearing.  USMC dons tan flight suits outside the wire (flame retardent for IED's)

wow, what a tactical color scheme.... ::)

I'm sure it's an image edit. I can't imagine any leadership allowing someone to paint a vehicle like that, especially in a combat zone.

Another thing, what makes it really suspicious is that it looks so clean. Come one, it's the desert, and look at that sand. It would almost be impossible to keep a vehicle paint job that clean and shiny in the desert...!

Oh, I'm sure the Dukes hummer is a fake. If for no other reason, for the political problems it would cause if it were real. Not to mention the extremely negative reaction that black soldiers would have to the Rebel Flag.

That type of showboating wouldn't be considered PC in today's society.... ;)

 I once painted a big smiley face on the nose of a B53. How was I supposed to know the commander was having a tour for some bigwigs later that day!  ;D
 I was ordered to remove it the next day. Simply no sense of humor among the higher echelons. :-[
