...you'll ever see.

At least if you're an enemy of the greatest nation on the planet ;-)

Very creative take on the title. Nice shot (no pun intended).

It's a cool shot, but don't be surprised if you catch some flak from the international audience here that might not agree with you....

Thanks

As for the international audience, I'd rather get fewer votes and stay true to the old red, white and blue ;-).

Such a great photo/story. Seems it should be on a recruiting poster.

That's what the other sniper is saying when he is aiming at you. Good luck with the shot no pun intended.

Interesting, but I agree with Greg on the international opinion. Personally I would leave the reality of war to the newspapers.

I'll try to remember that next time I run to a bunker when we have incoming mortar rounds.

(I really didn't want to go off-topic, but this has been irking me >_< )

It sucks that you find yourself in a position that you have to dodge mortar rounds, and as long as you are there, you will have my support and appreciation, but having spent a few years on this earth, I've learned one thing to ring true and that is, "things are not always as they seem to be."

I mean no offence or disrespect soldier. But having served in Bosnia and seeing the very worst of what one person can do to another, your choice of subject matter seems cold. However, good luck to you. Stay safe.

Having spent my time walking the streets in Iraq, i no longer will allow myself to be used as a tool of oppression.

I waved a flag once, then i learned its meaningless.

Interesting idea though, and nice depth

Violence is all around us, in films, video games and real life. I think the picture is strong and gets my vote.

I wouldn't consider it "cold" nor are you (or I) a "tool of oppression". It's a nice shot and I appreciate the patriotism. Nothing meaningless in supporting and sacrificing for the poeples of Afghanistan and the great U.S.A. Keep 'em coming!

God Bless!
