Ammo Can from Iraq

[RASelkirk]

SSgross-- Understood. No problem. I was in Iraq from the initial invasion through mid-2004. I found the Iraqis to be very enterprising indeed. I once found several selling bathtub gin in bottles with a picture of Al Capone with a Tommygun. Only God knows what was in that brew.

75 year old (vintage!) torpedo juice?

fjpurple maybe we crossed paths early on! It was certainly funny hearing the perceptions of American culture abroad. Much of it is so out of date to be hilarious, or so wrong/skewed by propaganda to feel even more sad for them.

ssgross-- I was attached as an Army officer to the 1st Marine Division commanded Maj. Gen. Mathis for the first six months of OIF1. The last six months I was attached to the 82nd Airborne in Ramadi. I was doing mostly counterintelligence work with a primary focus on force protection.

I was a corporal with the 24 Marine Expeditionary Unit. We did mix of the usual marine things.
