Illuminated by the rays of the middle-eastern sun, the open bay of a large transport plane takes up most of this photo, with its loading ramp lowered and the aircraft seemingly idling upon a dust-swept runway.
At the foot of the ramp stands a line of uniformed men and women clad in rather dated desert camouflage service attire, with a medley of frozen waves, thumbs ups, and cheerfully presented middle fingers all present and accounted for.
At the picture's apex, somebody's scrawled, "2nd Rangers, through hell, high water, and mosquitoes."
You sincerely doubt that any of these soldiers are still alive.
