L. Paul Bremer, the US civilian administrator to Iraq, wears combat boots as he arrives for a news conference in this July 8, 2003 file photo in Baghdad, Iraq. Bremer usually wears combat boots for his functions. Humvees and SUVs speed through the streets, security men brandishing weapons out the windows. Helicopters clatter overhead. All so the top U.S. administrator in Iraq can cross the city. With American troops under daily guerrilla attack, L. Paul Bremer is not only talking about security. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)

A minor niggle (good phots, by the way). Trooper is a rank (PFC equivalent) in British cavalry units and in the SAS. Jugding by the stable belts worn by some of the British soldiers in those photos (as well as the mine detection equipment) they are Royal Engineers. Therefore they are not 'British troopers' but 'British sappers'.

I wouldve painted pixelated sensor icons over the "hot zones" of that painting...cable-tv style if i was over there-- too much obscenity

Armored Division plays with Hadi Mohammed, 13, at his roadside position on the anniversary of the 1968 Baathist coup, Thursday, July 17, 2003, in Baghdad, Iraq. Security forces were on high alert with expectations that pro-Saddam insurgents had planned attacks to mark the day. The anniversary, banned by the newly-selected Governing Council along with other Baathist holidays, passed with relatively few incidents. (AP Photo/Wally Santana)

The sun sets on the Saddam Tower in Baghdad, Iraq on Thursday July17, 2003. On the anniversary of Saddam's Baath Party there were no reports of violence involving U.S. troops, and American patrols in the capital had noticeably dropped off. Streets normally filled with American Humvees and tanks were strangely quiet, perhaps part of an effort to avoid confrontation. The U.S. military said it was treating the day, the anniversary of the 1968 Baathist revolution that brought Saddam's political party to power, like any other. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills

Some may not question your exposure to naked women, more like exposure to art.

*sigh* Cheese is good...

[Light Fighter]

My god, nakid women, must wash out eyes!!! Grow up. Its not immoral and obscene (except for ugly nakind people) its natural.

[usa320]

While i dont mind seeing it, i think for the sake of some folks who might watch CNN or whatever they should have censored it. In my opinion though it actually gives the picture more emotion, as it shows how big of perverts saddams goons actually were.

[Salty Dog]

digitalghost, you should relax a little. you're not going to go to hell because you saw ****s.

[Alleycat]

They're beautiful things.

Nice pics by the way.

[Merik]

I think the pics of the Sgt. playing with the Iraqi kid should be put on the national news to show that we are there for the purpose of making sure that that kid has the same choices that the kids here in America can make when he gets older. That oughta shut up all these idiot liberals.

[Vance]

No Merik, the anti-war kids will just make it into something like this:

THE REAL IRAQ - A defensless unarmed child was thrown violently to the ground by a U.S. soldier after the child wouldn't stop politely asking him what time it was.

haha, its a good picture though, has some contrast to it, notice the m9 that soldier is holstering. still in a war zone but still doing some good at the same time :hug:

[HooyahCQB]

As long as they show it with the one with the kid smiling...its all good.
