Yesterday I was over at the Post Modern Pulp blog talking about my time with the various armed forces during my trip to Iraq. I also have a post on the Osprey Publishing blog today about some curious Ottoman artillery I saw in Baghdad. There are plenty of interesting photos in both of these posts.
So check them out, or my buddy here will level his machine gun at you. Also check out my Iraq travel series on Gadling.
Yikes! Kind of a scary picture. It took me a while to get used to the fact that the police here (in Egypt) all carry big rifles, not the little handguns the US police carry. Plus, there are guardposts on every main street. A lot of visibility here. And they wear white uniforms in summer and black ones in winter. :-)
