Some interesting shots here - one in particular increased my esteem for the troops.  Picture 9 clearly shows the overloaded platoon mule under escort.

Fabulous photographs!

Nice pics...anyway of saving them??

 

[techie]

I personally know no way of saving photos when they are used in a flash slideshow, as i think they are intergrated right into the program/file. I could be wrong though.

Excellent photos! Pretty sure that you can't extract photos from a flash file.

Wow, very nice photos. Had the whole office standing around my computer checking them out.

Heard a few comments "wow, those soliders look like real people"  : I'm working on them....

Haha, well I have made a believer out of my boss. They had a luncheon downtown for "office professionals" a few weeks ago and had an engineer come in and speak about being in Afghanistan and setting up the camp and whatnot. I asked my boss if I could book us in for it, as I was sure he would like it. We went, and the whole way home he couldn't stop talking about how proud he is of our troops and how he can't believe how ignorant he has been all this time. 

So, one person at a time, I will make this office less ignorant. No need for action figures, I’ll bring a friend in for show and tell. ;D
