It's hard to stay out of the sand on this course. Wear this graphic merch. Come on...it's funny.

You just never know when you will want a candy bar outside the wire. Or peanuts. Or soda. Or a novelization of a superhero movie...

Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and the third-largest city in the Arab world after Riyadh and Cairo. Located along the Tigris River, the city was founded in the 8th century and became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate.

The Iranians continued with their blustery propaganda and their CGI "weapons" against the Coalition. Some of the things they thought would strike fear into the hearts of Americans said more about the Ayatollahs than us...

Built in 1227 CE the Mostansiriya Madrasa was a place of learning built by an Abbasid caliph. It is considered the first university of its time. It once contained a sophisticated water clock.

Shorja Market was once the Jewish Quarter of Baghdad, before pogroms in 1950 and 1968 saw their eviction from the city and Iraq. During OIF several attacks against this "soft" target by insurgents killed dozens of innocent people.

Legend has it that the monument to Iraq's "victory" over Iran was made out of the melted steel of Iranian army helmets. The arms holding the swords are supposedly copies of Saddam's arms... on a smaller scale, of course. In any case, definitely worth visiting while in the Green Zone!

Beaker loves to tell the newbies all about the "Old Army," like where you could get drunk at the All-Graders and how many times he made SP4.

Another shot of the sunrise in Baghdad Iraq a few years ago. From the top of my C-17.

Begun in 1980, Tourist Island was an amusement park for Iraqis on the Tigris River north of Baghdad. Once the home of restaurants, a marina, an outdoor theater and an amphitheater, it was occupied by the Iraqi Army prior to the beginning of the Iraq War... which resulted in an ex-amusement park following the fighting.

The 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment (3–69 AR) is a United States Army combined arms battalion and part of the 3rd Infantry Division based at Fort Stewart, Georgia. 3–69 AR was the first conventional US unit to enter Iraq in 2003, and among the first units to serve four tours in Iraq.

Eating in a DFAC could be an adventure, but "adventure eating" isn't one of my favorite things.

When you really want an adventure when you go to Baghdad, fly Iraqi Airlines! Ba'ath-free Since 2003!

Suicide bomber Plan B device.

You can't just go out and murder innocent people with a vehicle-borne improvised device... it takes planning.

Anubis, representing over 70 national flags.

Just when you thought the insurgents couldn't come up with any new ways to off themselves....

I have no idea what this one is. From the printed design I would say I picked this up from a vendor who occasionally was at Camp Victory. It could have been some special commando unit for all I know.

There was no such thing as a "routine patrol."

Although one of the smaller contingents which participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom the Estonians were responsible for some of the rougher neighborhoods in Baghdad while I was there and provided staff officers at MNCI as well. I got this patch at the local souk... must have been enough being bought to make it worth their while.
