Anybody see those Camel Spiders yet? They hide in the shade, so the soldiers were freaked out by these Aliens (the egg-laying kind) running toward them, but they would stop as soon as they entered the soldiers’ shadow.

And I thought I had an Ant problem at home.

As an x-11Bravo I exercise my moral authority and report that it’s the adrenalin rush that makes you laugh!

If you think bungy jumping or skydiving is a high, try surviving an ambush!

Once everyone realizes that they have all their body parts, you would think that the platoon was just visited by Bob-friggin-Hope!

That is definitely an eye-opener. Those Iraqi bugs are nasty, eh?

Seriously – what was that???

That was a bullet hitting bullet-resistant glass.

Dang! It amazes me that they were laughing. God bless them!

That was a good shot – dead center in the window. The Iraqi snipers are getting good.

Damn, and I mean damn. I guess that was sniper fire. Pesky 7.62 mm mosquitoes.

Praise God, it held. Now it looks like the mini-van windshield when a truck kicked up gravel. Good thing the guys aren’t in mini-vans over there.

Limerick, thank you – great reminder!

Our Soldiers, one and all, and your families, Thank You!

You sure are “guardians of freedom and the American way of life”, even if many of us are often very stupid!

That was no bug. Camel spit, maybe.

That was freaky. It amazes me what our troops go through on a daily basis and retain the capacity to laugh and joke about it. They have great cahuna’s and all my respect.
