Great post. Thank you very much.
Not for nothing, but why do Iraqi cops and Iraqi guardsmen wear face masks? I don`t get the whole mask thing. Is it because of the sand storms or are they trying to remain anonymous? If they are trying to remain anonymous, how would covering your face help? Can the terrorists immediately know someone just by looking at their face? I don`t know, very bizarre.
BTTT, Thanks for the great post!
thanks for the great pics. God bless our forces and our president.
Most excellent.
Heads up Tonk
Because the terrorists are targeting them for kidnapping and murder.
Thanks
I think they even do that in some DEA operations and even some FBI operations,i think it's to preserve their ability to go undercover possiblt in the future.Also in Iraq I would think it would be necessary to protect their family also.
The Iraqi cops must try to conceal their identities since after their shift is over they can not return to a protective Coalition base at night.
Many of these brave men willing to serve in order to rebuild Iraq & stop the Islamic terrorist enemy, live in the same districts as some of the home-grown terrorists.
Once the jihadist killers ID either members of the Iraqi Armed Forces or Iraqi police, even members of their families become a terrorist target. Remember the Islamic terrorist enemy operates as organized street gangs. No morals only death.
Great photos and painting, M. Espinola!
I especially like the photo of the Most Dangerous Job On The Planet (According to OSHA)... Night Carrier Ops!
Jack.
Thanks for fixing that one:)
They must wear the masks to hide their identity from the terrorist who would target their family.I hope we can get these guys some better vehicles soon.I wouldn't want to be driving around in the back of a pick up.
Give yourself an attaboy.
ATTABOY!!!
Anonymous. The bad guys figure out who the police are and come in groups to the cops' homes and murder them.
Gotta love that Islam.
The fightdeck is a most demanding ballroom.
Remember South Vietnam where many many "members" of the VC were coerced to fight by methods used by the NVA installed/armed village cadre team and their lists of names (your sisters in particular). Many Vietnamese refugees sttled around here in the late 1970s and brought with the horrible low down on that time of terror.
