Country:  | You certainly don't want to be on the receiving end of it, MM. I have seen that used in anger once. The biggest piece of anyone that we found was a hand. The FAC that was with us had a very morbid sense of humor. He was the first to spot it, picked it up and shouted "Hey, does anyone need a hand?" I will say it broke the tension of the moment and we all laughed.

Country: | Is that a foot? It looks like one. I can't make out the blue part though. Remnants of a suicide bomber?

Country: | They don't leave much, so I have heard. So that's 17 able bodied dead and one cripple dead? Sorry, that was really bad.
I know you get used to it, it was the smell that I never got used to.

Country: | My dad says you Yanks are weird 'cos in the first Gulf he was cleaning up the main road to Basra after US A-10s had 'cleaned it up' and there were burnt out trucks, cars..everything...along with burnt up bodies and stuff...and he thought, naturally, it was vile at first but he had to clean it up anyway. But loads of Americans were jumping up and getting their pictures taken with burnt out corpses!

Country: | I wish I had known that trick, Les. I used to carry a bandana to cover my nose and mouth which doesn't help at all, especially after just a few hours. If the dead are fresh dead, it's not that bad.

| Ill tell u what... That was one of the big things that i had problems with over there, and have fired rounds and gotten into fights over it before... Stupid Ass Jarheads and their cameras....
We were hardly ever allowed to bring cameras along with us, and when I did it was a POS disposable one at that..... I only have a few pics that I took, and a few that I got from pals and the PR peeps at ST2..... I dont throw those pics out very often....
