In Country With Our Troops
Wild Thing's comment........
The name of the second photo at the site was called The Circus. I sat here looking at it and felt so happy. Here is a child, that has no fear, he knows the soldier is his friend and has been there to make life better. HE knows and yet those in our Congress want to make it that we are insurgents like a few have said. I would bet my lilfe that this wee child does not think of this American Hero nearby is an insurgent but a superman that came to resuce his country.

How nice to see a child playing outside in the dirt! That is what childhood is for and we have given that to the children of this war.
FREEDOM to be a child.
Didn't Air Supply do a song called "In the Eyes of a Child?" (there is hope, there is laughter?)
God save and bless our troops. They're doing a tremendous job.

Great photos, it's a tragedy that children get used as pawns by the adults in any war, they should behave just like what we see in that picture. The above Zodiak photo is intriguing, I have never seen a lower unit like that on the engine, it appears to be some sort of jet pump, it looks too small in diameter to be a propeller shroud, I've ran rivers for years using an inboard jet, outboard jet, even a prop unit, this one is different. I have a 10' Zodiak that with a 15hp OB on it is a kick, and it will go a lot faster than what I want to ride on it. I wonder if that's what
Major Kong from Dr. Strangelove felt just before he went aground.
