Picture of the Day - 3


















(I'm not trying for any editorial comment here, this is just one of the pictures we never see. A soldier's photo of a USO appearance.

I chose this picture because I was struck by the contrast of soldiers in full battle gear, the camoflage netting, and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. (Huge credit to the cheerleaders for going somewhere that is so obviously not "safe."))

  • Have a clue. These Soldiers are not even deployed. 2 big give aways...the old BDE uniforms and the MILES gear they are wearing that is used at trainig centers. Then again your blog site is all about twisting information to fit your story or view.

    If you can read this thank a teacher.

    If you are reading it in English thank a Soldier
