The soldier behind the one pointing, where is his leg?

some, if not most are ripped off

Found it!

It's a photo by David Leeson/AP, not by "Benjamin Shamus Ballad"!

Most of the photos seem to be by David Leeson, http://homepage.mac.com/davidjleeson/PhotoAlbum3.html

The guy is taking a knee, the left leg is bent and in some dead ground

Just to clear something up:

http://www.fotos.geschichtsthemen.de/iraq-war/iraq.htm

The first page of photos, all made by David Lesson. It says at the top of the page:

All Photos made © by David Leeson - Dallas, Texas

On Part II of the photo set

http://www.fotos.geschichtsthemen.de/iraq-war/iraq_02.htm

At the top of the page you can see:

All Photos made © by David Leeson, Ben Ballad, Columbus Ledger.

You can tell the difference in some of the pictures, obviously David Leeson is a professional photographer, while Ben Ballad is just an amateur.
