The idiot that captioned this picture has got the unit wrong. It's probably 2nd Battalion, 37th Artillery. It's definitely NOT the 2nd Infantry Division. These soldiers wear the patch of the 25th - the unit that actually IS in Afghanistan.

Nice pic, but they got the caption wrong. Those aren't Indianheads, they are Electric Strawberries. They were shooting yesterday. The lovely scenery in the pic is what this whole place looks like. Every place that isn't gravel is dust.
