More photos from my friend stationed in Iraq, with captions below each.


Somewhere in Iraq; A recent, no-bulls@%t picture from one of our missions. Without giving the who, what, when, where, why, this is how I view the world on the majority of our stalks. Believe me, after 5-6 hours of burning your eyes out, this starts to suck. At that point, combined with fatigue, we see some funky stuff. I once talked to a mound of dirt thinking it was my team leader. Another time, all of us at one point or another, thought a distant tree was an enemy soldier walking down the road. When a tree start your heart pounding, you know it's time to call it a night (I only wish we could)....

Samsung 096 (cause I forgot to label it): And this is how I look when I get back from said missions. Yeah, we get a little crazy, then we hit the hay. It's crash and burn until the next time out.

I'll try to send some daytime mission pics next email. Don't expect anything dramatic, I purposely send the pictures that can't be placed to location or personnel, as we still frequent certain spots. So don't be disappointed if I crop or blur certain parts out. However, I can give you a general feel of what the area looks like.

Always,
