I was going through photos looking for some cool shots to put in the new great outdoor picture thread I started, and I ran across a folder of old Army photos.
There was this one I took of an Iraqi Bedouin infant in his "crib" / "bassinet", whatever you call it, in his "bedroom" (I guess) in what passes for his families "home". (a ragged old canvas tarp with 6 poles) This was between missions. I had volunteered to go out with a team, and the Chaplin, to give away some old tents to the local tribe families. I even remember an actual no holds bared fistfight (we were not allowed to interfere) between two "ladies" who wanted a "house" when we got down to the last tent. I took this in 2005, so he'd be around 16 by now... assuming he didn't get dead in the million ways there are to do so over there. Hell, for all I know he's over there making other people dead right now...
Just made me stop and think...
Americans have to have free everything.
They want to let the entire world come here for free everything.
They don't want to work for any of it.
Nothing is ever their fault.
Everybody is a racist.
Too bad lefties can't stop, and think... or better yet, help solve the damn problems, instead of creating them.
Anyway, here he is, cute as a bug in a rug.
