More photoblogging from Afghanistan
Major John Tammes, Instapundit's and Chrenkoff's photoblogging correspondent from the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan sends in more photos from the base:
Honk if you're HIG (the HIG Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin is our main enemy in the area). The 3/116th Infantry chalked this on the back of one of their vehicles going out on a patrol I accompanied. Alas, nobody honked at us. [which hopefully indicated the decline of HIG's presence in the area. That, or lack of other cars, or English language proficiency - AC]
Ammo Amnesty Box. Many areas have boxes for troops to drop forgotten rounds of ammunition into. No questions are asked. I was trying to get people to feel a bit better about turning these stray rounds in.
