82nd Airborne Hookin' and Jabbin'!

A U.S. Army paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team fires his M4 carbine at insurgents during a firefight June 30, 2012, Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. The vehicle he is using for cover is a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Michael J. MacLeod, Task Force 1-82 PAO)

Check out that ANA in the background.  I'd put a foot in his ass and tell him to get in the fight.  Notice I said ANA.  The Para-trooper is on the radio calling in the contact.

    i'm not sure they're not. the pic is cropped so i really can't tell. i do know one thing though. that's alot of dust to be kicked up from one troops rifle. alot of dust. something else has to be going on that's outside of camera shot.
