One of my proudest moments in Iraq
I spent 11 months in Iraq working for the evil KBR but I hopefully presented a different image of Americans there than most. Two of the guys who worked for me were from India. Kabeer and Brkunda and I spent 13 hours a day together 7 days a week trying to keep the soldiers facilities repaired and running so they would have hot water for showers and working flush toilets. It was a constant battle because KBR never, ever had the parts and materials we needed to do our job. These guys were great and always had positive attitudes despite being treated like enemy combatants by the military and most of the KBR supervisors.

Anyway, long days sometimes led to silliness and this is one incident I caught on my camera.

I can't post videos here but if you click on the link, it is the first article on my blog.

Let me know what you think.
