The War in Iraq from the perspective of a Navy Corpsman

MAXIMUMTURD Published 10/05/2012

These pictures are from two deployments to Iraq. The first, in Fallujah from August 2007 through March 2008. And the second on a Casualty Evacuation Team with a Helo Squadron from January 2009 through July 2009, Unfortunantly none of the night vision pictures could be uploaded because the files were too big.
