A different side of Iraq

These are pictures of my cousin, Joe. He's Gunnery Sergeant who's currently serving for the fourth time in Iraq (he was a part of the original Desert Storm in the '90s and has been there and back three times during the current campaign). Needless to say, I'm very proud to know him.

He sends pictures of his patrols and other things, but the majority of his pictures are similar to these. I feel like sharing them because this is a side of the current nature of Iraq that media outlets won't share through their biased, filtered channels. They're more concerned with sharing the US and civilian death tolls, ignoring the real progress that's being made. God speed Joe! Hurry home and keep your head down.
