Photos from Iraq

Up in Falluja empty graves, spent 2 months recovering bodies, of executed foreigner's..so pretty nasty crap, a lot of bodies were still bound with their hands tied behind their backs, and some missing their heads

Recovered over 100 bodies, over 2 months.




Those swords are pretty cool, there are a pair of them at the end of Saddams parade deck.


Another view of the swords.


A M1 Abram Tank in Southern Iraq.


M1 Tank Turrent


BIAP/Baghdad international Airport...driving to and from this place is the most dangerous route in Iraq now, you may be ambushed, hit a IED, improvised explosive device.


Local "Bongs"/rather Hookas


Old iraqi currency with Saddams Ugly mug, not worth a dime, but cool souvenirs.


If you look carefully to the left of the center gold structure see that brown spot, a rpg/rocket propelled grenade entered threw the roof of this mosque, some insurgents were trying to kill local clerics working towards peace in iraq.


A suicide Bombers work, a lot of suicide bombers blow themselves up, then their families are paid well or if these bombers still believe they will get 20 million virgins once they see Allah.. alrighty then.

They wrote 'Bang Bus' on the tank turret? The creativity of the armed forces never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for sharing.

I have had a few family members/friends over there.

My dad's cousin is a Master Gunney and he was over in Kuwait and he was in the advance teams that went into Iraq.

And my dad will be going over shortly.

I salute your service to our country. Godspeed soldier.

Insurgents put these mines out at night, they will definitely fuck up a Tank
