Modern infantry all look the same.

    It's easy to tell the nationality of troops in WW2 .
    Even back in the '80s infantrymen looked different to eachother.
    Nowadays it's really hard to tell who is who.
    Some countries may have a distictive camo pattern such as the Swedes but by & large I'm finding it really hard to tell who is who.
    (Coloured tape on the arm & helmet helps.)

    Sort of thought the same myself, all the current helmets seem to have such a similar outline in particular. I find myself trying to work out what rifle they are carrying, then remind myself I'm at least 20 years out of date on modern equipment.

    Of course you always get the odd individual refusing to conform....
