I'm the meanest one in the valley!

[Capriole]

My, my, don't they look like a bunch of big tough soldiers! Ooooh!

/sarcasm

On the other hand, that boy of Paul Bremer's is a fellow I'd trust with my life, or my country's life. He looks like he can handle himself, AND all the howling hordes of Allah.

[Xenalyte]

This guy thinks it's a WAY cool shot.

[shiva]

Uh-Huh!

[Graymatter]

Good photo. Explains decisively why men generally wear black, brown, and gray. Give them more choices and they're dangerous to themselves.

[HarryCaul]

Is that a US soldier? Or a private paramilitary? Looks like he might be PMC more that USMC to me...

Not that it matters really, just curious

[cyborg]

ooops my bad... not a marine but what a recruitment poster that would be!

[cyborg]

Well dang I've never seen a security look like that *LOL*

My first thought was "I've never seen such a weird paper-maiche anti-war costume for a gay-pride parade."

What the heck is the photographer trying to do? Make fun of mass graves and the American soldiers who stopped the killing and opened them for the world to see? Make fun of the Iraqis' attempt at memorializing the tremendous atrocity? This photog should go Leahy himself.

I know - but it is STILL A GOOD PICTURE!

KICK A** and take names! That is WAR!

What counts, he is "An American Fighting Man!"

....yep

[Old Professer]

I was thinking more along the lines of he wouldn't last five minutes on the first day of deer-season...

"Nancy Boys" on parade?

[Lady Jag]

That looks cool. I like it, I'm taking it and the guy is a hunk.

[Lazamataz]

The part they didn't show you is when the soldier realized what was going on and shot the f*****g Arab b*****d who took the picture dead where he stood.

Akbar THIS, Islamic.

[Old Professer]

I wonder if models are any better than ordinary folk on sobriety tests, what with all their practice walking all funny like that?

[Rifleman]

This guy is protecting American assets and doing a tough job. Don't minimize it. I admire him (almost) as much as I do the Soldiers and Marines who are putting boots on the ground in Iraq.

As to working for pay, you maybe work for free. I don't. Are you maybe claiming that he would change sides for a bigger paycheck?

[Lazamataz]

I don't look like a hunk like that guy.

Mostly cuz I don't have a cool satanic paper-mache hat.

And a machine gun.

Burberry would be better off to stick to the trenchcoats. Good grief...I think I'm going blind just looking at those colors.
