I've seen some of these intersting shots with this moving dialogue before. The shot of the high explosive anti-take round heading downrange was exciting and technically interesting. The shot of the two young ladies grabbing a chance to get some sleep was moving. It reminded me of how far away "home" really is.
My son was in Iraq in the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Id and was in the lead elements entering Baghdad last April, when the war and the county were different. He came returned to Fort Stewart last August and his unit is slated to return to Iraq next winter.
He reported no sightings of lugers there, at that time and in the places that he was in, although weapons of many types were everywhere available. He did see a Iraqi copies of a Beretta, I believe. He also reported that Army elements were prohibited from bringing back weapons of any kind. He thought that Marine elements were under different rules and were allowed to do so.
Again, that site is a moving one to review and I thank you, John, for sharing it here.
