this is by far the best picture Ive seen of this media war . That would be me except instead of the mattel gun to his left mine would be an M-1A2 tank .

Hes fishing for terrorist fish ! they are a bearded fish with extra skin on their heads that looks like turbans . once you hook em and pull em out of the water they explode . they are only found in the middle east in unsecured lakes and bays . some have been transported to other countries , it just hard to tell them apart from the nonexploding variety called habbiby fish ( dear ones ) .

Ya beat me to it, I posted that pic over on SOL last night before I left for work. It said the troop was using noodles from one of his MRE's for bait and that he did'nt catch anything:( .
