Quoted: Nice but that Iraqi kid with that Brits rifle is bothersome...

My guess is that (1) he unloaded it first, and (2) his buddies could quickly take out a little kid if something went wrong.




Personally, I LOVE the picture of the U.S. soldier carrying an Iraqi.  Both heartwarming and hilariously symbolic

The squaddie still has a tight hold of the pistol grip........ good pics.
