Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, use a Bradley fighting vehicle to breech a wall Tuesday during a brigade-size operation to keep pressure on insurgent activity in Baghdad’s Sadr City. Parking space shortage? No problem just call 1-800-Car- Spot and our Bradley fighting vehicles will make you a new driveway at a very reasonable price.

Traditional Islamic hospitality was nowhere in sight when the boys decided to show up at the Insurgent's house for a short visit.

A soldier with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, discovers a Muqtada al-Sadr poster during a cordon-and-search operation in Sadr City on Wednesday. Gosh, this is just the poster that I needed to complete my collection of world famous Terrorists.

An Iraqi soldier keeps watch as U.S. soldiers search a man discovered at a suspected enemy hideout Tuesday during a joint U.S./Iraqi operation in Sadr City. The man, with his family, appeared to be squatting at the facility and was not detained. The quick game of pin the tail on the Iraqi was not as enjoyable as the games seemed to be back home in the world.

A soldier fights from a rooftop stronghold during a battle with insurgents in Sadr City early Thursday. The soldiers had to move to the rooftop after their Bradley fighting vehicle was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade and caught fire. Two Bradleys and one tank were disabled by insurgent attacks Wednesday and early Thursday. Several soldiers also suffered gunshot wounds, but were all expected to survive. This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Breakfast in Sadr City is lately preceded with a nice cozy fire fight with Islamic terrorist insurgents.

Two wrecked Humvees belonging to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force are seen on Wednesday in the Mansour district of Baghdad. An explosion, believed to have been caused by a suicide bomber detonating a car bomb, killed one Iraqi civilian and destroyed 10 civilian cars on the road leading to Baghdad Airport. Those suicide bombers could save a lot of gasoline and explosives if they would just all kill themselves at the same time. |

Master Sgt. Donald Yedlicka cleans an F-16 Fighting Falcon canopy before a training flight at Lask air base, Poland. He is a crew chief assigned to the Texas Air National Guard’s 182nd Fighter Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base. The Texas airmen want to familiarize their Polish counterparts with the aircraft’s capabilities, along with its day-to-day operations and maintenance. Service Stations with full service are rare in some areas, but the Air Force spares no expense when it comes to our aviators. |
