I love pictures like these. Maybe it's just me, but it fills me with awe and admiration when I see Iraqi forces and soldiers fighting side by side with Americans and in many cases taking the lead. They too are fighting for what they believe in. One of my favorite photos is of Iraqi soldiers riding the Chinook with their American counterparts as they prepare to go on a raid. Reading the MSM, one gets the impression that all iraqi forces are corrupt and inept.
