The next time you hear someone deriding our troops and the war in Iraq, think about this picture for a minute.
The caption under the picture said this:

Sgt. Fred Hampton, of Lexington, Ky., kneels on a knee to talk with a young
Iraqi boy at the future site of Regular 6 Park in the Thawra 1 section of the
Sadr City District of Baghdad on June 20. Photo: Tech Sgt. Cohen Young, Joint
Combat Camera Center Iraq.
Look closely at the picture. Living in AZ I know (partially) how incredibly HOT it must be in Iraq. Can you imagine how hot the sand and the dirt must be in the middle of the day. This is what our guys are like, he takes a knee in the dirt so that he can lean down, talk to one of the kids from the village, and offer his foot as a cooler place for little feet to stand.
