Welcome back to our popular feature, “Things Maybe we Should have Explained in a Caption, but Didn’t.” The actual caption here tells us this soldier is “wearing a wig” as he smokes near the front lines.
Excuse me? “Ernie, we’re gonna see combat today. Is my wig on straight?” That just doesn’t sound right.
I checked, and it turns out the dude said he was wearing the wig to scare the enemy and give him magic powers.
Now, I have to think that if that big honking rocket propelled grenade on his back doesn’t scare the enemy, a wig isn’t going to do the trick.
But I could be wrong. Maybe this is a whole nation of folks who are petrified of wigs, just ripe for a surprise attack by Dolly Parton.
Don’t worry. Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

I think the big question is what is he using to clean his rifle barrel?
- Posted by Timwhats up with that Ak47 pointed towards his balls
- Posted by fazThe wig is a mojo thing. Remember,this is a part of the world where your manhood can be majicked away by an evil shaman.
The AK-47 is a threat. “You majik my dick, I shoot it off!”
- Posted by SuprstitiusSo thats where Rick James is now working? That’s super freaky.
- Posted by ReNoMan. The American military has something to learn from this Congonese gender-bender.
- Posted by TimHey, as long as he thinks he looks good, nothing else matters.
- Posted by OrincarniaWhat happens when he has to run and the wig falls of? Does he run back to get it?…

Are the fact that he’s smoking what looks like a giant joint and the fact that he’s wearing a bad wig related in any manner?
