[Fioraon]

I'm looking for any pictures or media from a car bomb hitting a Stryker in the past three days from FOB Marez outside Mosul. It was my Borthers Stryker... :| Anyway, thanks in advance.

I don't know why , but somehow I like these particular photos very much. Not because of what they represent , but because of the men portrayed in them.

Very good photos , a great big thank you for posting them.

Oh , and I'm a bit of a fan for the 25th infantry division (I'm very happy that the Strykers are attached to them) , so whenever I get to browse or look at bigger archives full of OIF - photos , I try to pick out the 25th in action..

Although , the pictures credit these men as 24th ID , but those shoulder patches are surely from the 25th. So , hmm , makes me wonder..

Anyone got an explanation for me ?!
