Up until now I was able to sleep good at night knowing that 40+ Iraqi Army Soldiers were standing guard duty keeping an eye out for the bad guys. Now I am not so sure I will be able to sleep at all. Above is a picture of the Marine Lt. who caught one of the Iraqi Soldiers "racked-out" on duty. At least he was ready - check out the neatly placed shoes next to the bed - to quickly react to that unexpected wake-up call from mother nature. I am not sure what kind of creative punishment I would assign to an American who I caught sleeping - no better yet pre-meditated sleeping - on duty but I am sure it would have involve digging holes or filling sand bags and 0200. The good news, this guy was not assigned to watch the perimeter or scan the desert for objects moving in the night...oh no, he was assigned to guard the Ammo Depot. But do not worry...had someone "snuck-by" our comatose guard the robber would still need a key to get at the ammo. I am not sure what they are going to do with this guy but I have no doubt he will not be "standing" anymore duty at the Ammo Depot. Have a good night.
