Disabled VET Uncle Sams Misguided Children- The picture I use for my avatar is one I took while serving in Operation Desert Storm. These are a few of the oil fires set by Sadam's soldiers when they were retreating from Kuwait.It was taken about 10pm and as cool as it looks,that oil stunk like nothing I have ever smelled before or since.
