Description One more tough thing to add to my job is that most Iraqis love to get their pictures taken. The art of taking candid and natural shots is essential, because as soon as they notice you have the lenses aimed near them, they start posing and yelling at you to go over and take pictures of them and their buddies regardless of whether they actually get the photograph. These Iraqis soldiers are in training and were watching a senior class graduate.

One question.

Are we helping, is it worth our while being there?

Or does the resentment wreak as much as it does here..?

Great capture. I love the story ... although they are infatuated with getting their picture taken, you still managed to capture the resolve... Bravo!

Oh boy.... they look like the US Army in the first gulf war.
That's a cool photo there.
