Birdie sent a couple of more pictures. I thought the complexity of the situation might help some understand what kind of decisions these soldiers must make daily.
Two guys in black hoods drive up and fire AK-47s at the two Army vehicles. This picture was shot just before they were.
A group of youngsters want to throw rocks. This time the soldiers stand ready for something more dangerous, but use non-lethal rounds in a 12-ga. to break it all up.
Birdie is 26, and the men in his squad are younger. Life and death decisions occur every day.
Wow. I haven’t gotten to see any of my husband’s photos from Iraq yet…
