Description Bomb Disposal School in Besmaya, Iraq. I got an awesome picture of myself with this guy in the background ... Yep, the bomb squad just 50 yards from me.

I like the image for the composition. Although, honestly, I wish we didn't have images like this; and that we didn't have them because they weren't facts of life for some people.

I don't presume to know what your motivations were for serving; a desire for glory, a sense of duty, or a desire to serve and protect. I can only sorrow in your loss; the loss of someone who I never met, but who died for the country I live in and for those of us who live here.

Rest well. And thank you.

the picture is awesome and has its own humor, its own charm but shows what our men, brothers, fathers go through. It is to bad he is no longer around to see his work get a DD.

It is sad to me to know the photographer, Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Frost died on March 3rd, 2008; because his helicopter went down in Iraq.

Rest in peace HandBanana001

^^ just playing. Yeah, I didn't know that was what bombs would look like either. I can't help but always picture them as those black spheres with fuses. Too much Zelda, maybe?

Haha, for the last comment.
I was going to mention, "I blame the popularity on, "The Hurt Locker."
Irregardless, I'm not saying that's bad.
It's beautiful, mate.
Either way, I'm glad I found it.

You do realize the chief reason you got the daily deviation is because 'The Hurt Locker' won the Oscar yesterday?

I'm not saying it's a bad picture

I don't think he really cares; Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Frost was killed March 3rd, 2008 in a helicopter crash in Iraq, less than a month before he was scheduled for release.

Rest in Peace Chris
