Life in Jazeerah
Now that I've gotten the rants out of my system, I figured I'd just post some pictures.
Iraqi soldiers manning a PKC machinegun
A patrol of Iraqi soldiers, almost looks like a scene out of another war
Covering a road with a 50 cal. Because of the MTT's size and
composition, it's not uncommon for officers and SNCOs to drive
or man the gun, which is unthinkable in most units
Scanning the area through my ACOG
The Felon watching some suspicious characters

How well armored is the IA? I saw a press conference w/LTG Demsey where he stated 2797 uparmored HMMWVs are planned for ISF (~15/Bn). Also seen reporting of Reva, Otokar, DZIK3, Akrep, Baracuda and Cougars purchased for ISF.

They have uparmored Humvees and Panhard armored cars. Their Humvees are equivalent to our UAHs. We don't go outside the wire without uparmored vehicles, US and Iraqi.
Hey, big brother. Just wanted to say hi. I haven't written you nearly enough and I'm really sorry about that. I'm glad to see you're doing all right, though and I'm really getting a kick out of your blog. Stay safe over there, man, and I'll happily entertain you with stories of my debauchery in the UK when you get back.
