U.S. soldiers inspect a site after the controlled explosion of a car bomb in Baghdad on Tuesday. The U.S. military detonated the bomb intentionally to remove it as a threat.

We are soldiers, we break things, we are good at it.

 

Army Spc. Patrick Hoyt, a medic with the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team, applies eye drops to an Afghani patient at the Baba Wali Sahib Clinic in the Arghandab District of Kandahar province.

This particular medical unit came in last place for hygiene and antiseptic conditions according to the Inspector General's recent report.

 

 

Opposition Forces from Lancer Platoon, 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, practice at the Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) site outside Sulecin, Poland. As part of the Immediate Response ’04 military exercise, these troops will battle the 173d Airborne Brigade and 6th Polish Airborne Brigade paratroopers, who jumped into Poland on Monday.

It seems unlikely that the Brass will approve blue denim uniforms once again this year. 

 

Author Tom Clancy fields questions Tuesday from sailors and family members at Norfolk Naval Base, Va. Clancy, whose best-selling books are packed with details about the military, was there to help them write about their own wartime experiences.

Hey Tom Clancy " The Hunt for a reason to finish Red Rabbit continues."

 

Retired Marine Master Sgt. Glen Sykes, right, cuts a key for Colleen McKie in the tool department of a Home Depot in suburban Atlanta on Monday. The hardware chain is recruiting military personnel — the latest partnership between the company and the Bush administration.

Meanwhile certain media outlets are recruiting caption writers with a liberal bias.

 

A U.S. soldier stands guard near the site of a car bomb explosion that damaged two U.S. Humvees in Baghdad on Tuesday. Four U.S. soldiers were wounded, along with nine civilians.

Later after more time in grade this soldier hopes to be put in charge of guarding an entire motor pool.

Soldiers from Company C, 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, batter through the door of a suspected insurgent hideout in Tal Afar, Iraq.

Hi we are with the local community Welcome Wagon, nice to meet you.

Lance Cpl. Alex J. Kennebeck, an aircraft, firefighting and rescue specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 373, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, dons his firefighting gear during a practice run Sept. 11. The 19-year-old native of Fort Dodge, Iowa, is one of the Marines and soldiers at Camp Fallujah responsible for extinguishing fires and rescuing personnel in dangerous situations involving fire.

Now where did I put my tin foil hat?

 

 

Marines from Company C, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, pause before conducting a cordon and knock early on Sept. 10 at a residence known to harbor insurgents in Ubayti, Iraq. Members of Company L, 3/7 Marines, accompanied them to provide tactical knowledge they have gained during their seven months in the area.

Some of the lighting schemes in Iraq alleys is so 1970's.

 

A Marine with Company C, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, patrols through Ubayti, Iraq, before setting up an observation post to provide security for a team conducting a cordon and knock.

Is a cordon and knock anything like a cordon bleu? Cordon le Green?

 

 

 

Army Staff Sgt. Anthony Abraham, center, holds on to twin daughters Damani, left, and Damaris on Monday outside the Northwood Temple following a North Carolina Army National Guard mobilization ceremony in Fayetteville, N.C. Abraham and more than 140 North Carolina Guard members will head to Iraq later this month to join up with the 30th Heavy Separate Brigade, which has been there since February 2003.

 

Air Force Staff Sgt. Ehren Wahl, a communications navigation mission systems technician, repairs an MC-130 infrared receiver during an inspection at Kedena Air Base, Japan. The 353rd Maintenance Squadron airmen provide maintenance for all MC-130 Combat Talons and Combat Shadows assigned to the 353rd Special Operations Group.

Once the key is inserted into the Interociter a new revolution in military communications will occur.

 

Just another day at the office for our Troops.
