Great shot. But what in the world is his weapon doing unsecured?! We've got an American 3-star leading their training and the guy has left his weapon, loaded by all appearances, laying 10 feet from him in a public space. WFT?!!

Yea, and WTF as well.

(I did notice the distance to the weapon before reading you post)

It may say more about Iraqi gun culture than it does about our training. From what I hear practically everyone owns guns over there and from what I see they tend to treat them much more casually than the average American gun owners.

I agree that it's irresponsible but I'm not sure I'd blame our training on it. That said, I wonder if he isn't lucky that his face isn't showing. :-)

It is a great picture of the soldier. You can look at it either way but it says that man wants democracy to me.

Great pictures. I really like both of them so very much. This country we are so honored to live in makes me so proud, just so very proud.
