With July 4th around the corner, you have to think about the people away from home right now. You see a lot of pictures of troops handing out soccer balls to kids, but I really love this picture of a soldier from New York smoking a cigarette after a “friendly” soccer match with the Iraqi traffic police in Baghdad, Iraq. They just lost 7-1. He doesn’t look happy with it, either.
