Someone is questioning when this was taken and whether it was photoshopped. Can you help?

The photo is real, but it was taken in Kuwait, not Afghanistan. The EXIF data is intact on this link:

Thanks for verifying...Still, this is the unhappiest group of soldiers I have ever seen along with the unbalanced issues within the makeup of the group.

March he said...and they asked..."How high, Mr. Obama".

That would explain why the BBC changed the photo on their article.

Fr thread:

Obama opens foreign tour in Kabul
BBC News ^ | July 19, 2008

New photo seems legit:


Mr Obama met the governor of Nangarhar province
