Polish soldier in Iraq praying the rosary (see moving pictures)
various

I've just found these pictures.

This soldier is praying, while he's having some break during an action in Iraq.

I must admit I've never seen anything like this before.
COOL!

Probably some extreme right wing conservative. They can still pray in the Polish Army because they have no equivalent to our ACLU.

I pray one for all our troops every night, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the turning of the hearts of our enemies in the Middle East, as well.

I truly believe prayer will turn the tide.

First, G-d’s blessings upon this man and all men and women in the coalition forces.

Second, many thanks to Poland for committing your warriors for the battle for civilisation.

Rest assured, Americans in Iraq can also pray anytime they want, without permission. “There are no atheists in a foxhole.” The ACLU never does anything unless their asses are nicely protected by others and Iraq is too “dangerous” for them, as it should be.

Oh, the humanity! Alack-a-day!!

Surely they can start a PCLU to make up for this vacancy in their society. /s

Pictures are very dark on my computer. Can’t see the soldier in them.
