Hezbollah issues new air-conditioned haz-mat uniform

The southerly suburbs of Beirut are rocking the new air-conditioned uniforms issued to the local militias by the Party of God.



Air-conditioning not only offers an extra level of protection in the event of an Israeli chemical attack, it provides a level of comfort deemed absolutely essential when summer temperatures hover in the 90 degree range for weeks on end.

Hopefully the new gear will put an end to scenes like the one seen in this photograph capturing the militants slipping into their summer gear just last year at a beach in south Beirut.
