- MattFid, on 07/02/2008, -107/+1177Obviously Photoshopped. Fox News told me Muslim children were incapable of love.
- khaose, on 07/02/2008, -17/+766I like how the bare foot child is standing on his boot to stay off the ground.
- uselessexpert, on 07/02/2008, -29/+519Is those kind of encounters that I guess make a lot of soldiers proud of what they do, and why they believe on it.
My brother is in a sf unit, and he's shown me plenty of pictures with kids, and it really makes me proud of my brother.
Even though he knows he puts his life on the line, moments like the ones of this picture is one of the things that must keep him going.
My hat's off to ALL military personnel! - craigatkinson, on 07/03/2008, -43/+398And CNN told me that Soldiers were incapable of love.
- vroom101, on 07/02/2008, -7/+282Photo description from "Talk it Out" at http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?option=com_galle ... (www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=99999999&g2_itemId=5219):
U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Fred Hampton kneels on a knee to talk with a young Iraqi boy at the future site of a park in the Thawra 1 neighborhood of the Sadr City district of Baghdad, June 20, 2008. U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Cohen A. Young. - smitas, on 07/02/2008, -22/+223Is trust only in pictures?
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -11/+181I couldn't even imagine what it'd be like to be a kid and go up to a military personnel from another country with a "big gun" and all that equipment..
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -6/+161I believe that it depends on people...not all the US soldiers are killers and not all the Iraqis are terrorists
- Duggan360, on 07/03/2008, -36/+176You bi-polar or something ?
- robbob, on 07/03/2008, -44/+183I like how the soldier made the kid turn out his pockets before approaching him
- parallax7d, on 07/03/2008, -34/+149Only thing missing is the soldier not being in that country.
- xwfilm, on 07/03/2008, -2/+113Not an M16 and not an ACOG. It's a SOPMOD M4 with an M68 Aimpoint Red Dot (Comp M2).
- vroom101, on 07/02/2008, -9/+119Also from Iraq...

2. "I'm O.K.": http://www.news.navy.mil/management/photodb/photos ... via http://www.news.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=6703 - Cloud7659, on 07/03/2008, -30/+138The sad thing is, today its heartwarming but tomorrow they send one in strapped and BOOM. Wouldn't be the first time it happened, I lost a friend to a similar scenario.
I'm proud of the soldier, but I'm not proud of the people who put him there. - MattFromSeattle, on 07/03/2008, -2/+96I hear they only do 'Terrorist Fist Jabs'
- wulfstein, on 07/02/2008, -12/+105Only thing missing is a hug.
- LeonidasStokely, on 07/03/2008, -1/+93I dugg you up because you sound like you know what you're talking about.
- GIScope, on 07/03/2008, -2/+86the poor kid has his feet burned because of the high temperature and constant sun burning the ground. Unless you've been in the desert with bare foot, you won't understand how refreshed the kid is feeling.
- stubear, on 07/03/2008, -3/+86he has brown skin...duh. /sarcasm
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/03/2008, -6/+89Says the guy with dick in his name...
and mouth. - bringmeupmusic, on 07/02/2008, -137/+217This is such a heart warming photo, it brought tears to my eyes.
- heymike, on 07/03/2008, -16/+94codx999, If anything they do it to ensure they are carrying no bombs/weapons. Of course, perhaps the kid just happened to have his pocket turned out.
Regardless, I had to dig you down for being ignorant. - Hoogs, on 07/03/2008, -10/+85No it didn't.
- technogenius, on 07/03/2008, -14/+85And republicans are fiscally conservative....
oh, wait a second... - trevah, on 07/03/2008, -15/+86Umm, if one is from Baghdad, it follows that they're both Muslim AND a terrorist. Also, they probably kill puppies for their souls in their free time...with their bare hands.
Don't you watch the news? - JayKeaton, on 07/03/2008, -14/+80I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to be a soldier and having a kid come up to you, when you have heard stories about child suicide bombers. This picture shows trust from both sides.
- drmangrum, on 07/03/2008, -0/+63To him it's normal. That child is maybe 7 years old. We've been in Iraq for most of his life. Seeing US soldiers in full gear is a common sight to him.
- Aero1, on 07/03/2008, -8/+70looks like the kid has to pee
- bwinebarger, on 07/03/2008, -15/+77People need to know that things are positive at times. It's the news media that profits only from the negative.
- magneticdozer, on 07/03/2008, -15/+74the fun part is you'll never see that kind of stuff on the news.
- iticu, on 07/03/2008, -13/+69Isn't killing in the job description of being a US soldier?
(seriously) - jpaolini, on 07/03/2008, -23/+72A few of the comments here are pretty appalling. Show some respect guys, we don't need commentary about prostitution and pedophilia, not even as a joke. Keep your fantasies to yourselves.
Fantastic photo. - inactive, on 07/03/2008, -15/+64M16 with ACOG?
That guy's racked up a lot of kills...
Unless he just picked it up off a dead guy. - inactive, on 07/03/2008, -15/+63LOL @ codx999
Because Saddam's invasion force was just off the coastline, right?
It's not really defending when you initiate the attack and subsequently invade and occupy someone's country, just fyi... - inactive, on 07/02/2008, -22/+67Great picture.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -9/+53That may be the most depressing thought ever.
- Scrappy1850, on 07/03/2008, -19/+63how do you know he is muslim?
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -4/+48What the hell is wrong with you?
- Rojahon, on 07/03/2008, -5/+47Why'd you put "big gun" in quotes? It really is a big gun!
- floort, on 07/02/2008, -29/+70"Can I have a candy?" -- just goes to show how children are influenced by war in so many ways.
- pbfreak453, on 07/03/2008, -5/+44I wouldn't be doing it so much as to follow orders, but to just keep myself safe. Turning out pockets is not even close to comparable to exterminating Jews, don't be so dramatic.
- trevah, on 07/03/2008, -7/+45Do you guys just not do sarcasm or what?
- 1gunners4, on 07/03/2008, -8/+45I mean, do you really blame the soldier for following protocal?
- iticu, on 07/03/2008, -6/+41I know joining the army doesn't give you a instant want to massacre puppys, but Alllo said that not all US soldiers are killers. Soldiers ARE killers.
(if it makes you feel better, remove the US from my comment and put in some other country you dislike) - wrestlingnrj, on 07/03/2008, -14/+47God Bless your brother and all of our armed service men and women. Seeing as he's in SF I'm sure he'll make it home, but good luck none the less.
- staffell, on 07/03/2008, -13/+44How the hell does this portray trust? The kid trusts the soldier not to just shoot him in the face? Or is it the soldier trusts the kid not to blow him up with that pack of C4 contained under his shirt? wot
- orangekid13, on 07/03/2008, -1/+33the floor is lava
- douggmc, on 07/03/2008, -5/+36Actually ... it is a .223 (basically 5.56x45mm is same as .223 but loaded with slightly different pressures). And there is nothing glorified about it. But ***** get their panties in a bundle when they see a semi-auto AR-15, but have no problem with a semi-auto hunting rifle in the same caliber.
- zosoIV, on 07/03/2008, -70/+101He's telling the soldier to leave.
