On patrol in Mosul
Some of the most compelling photos of the Iraq war can be found on the amazing DVIDS (Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System) website. Many of the photos (and videos) accompany stories that tell what US troops are doing in Iraq, Afganistan, Kuwait, and elsewhere. The photos can be downloaded in high resolution once you register. Registration is free. The below photo was uploaded to the DVIDS web site Sunday.
