Combat Outpost Charkh sees as much action as anywhere in Afghanistan, but it’s in Logar province, not far from the capital, Kabul.
It will always be my favorite picture of him out his deployment. I smiled like an idiot when it was first posted.

Hello dear reader/visitor/badger,
this is the blog of a seventeen year old half Mexican half French Canadian male with a lumberjack's vocabulary.
I mostly reblog military pictures and stuff I find funny or thoughtful/interesting.
I also reblog lots of Band of Brothers/The Pacific/Generation Kill stuff. I'm planning to join the Royal Military College when I get out of high school to become an Infantry officer in the Canadian Forces. Send me an ask if you're up for a bit of meaningless chatter.
I spend most of my time just derping on tumblr.
This blog is where I spend all my spare time. You'll see death and destruction. You'll see kittens and puppies. You'll see what my idea of a sense of humor is(hint: it's dull and about as funny as a trainwreck). You'll see how awkward and stupid I can be. I will bitch about everything. You'll probably unfollow me within five minutes. And one other thing: my Canadian nationalism reaches a fanatical extreme, so you'll often see me rave about how fucking awesome Canada is. I'm crazy, I have too much spare time on my hands, and, to the average human being, me thoughts are muddled and incoherrent. Soooo...
If you value your sanity, press Alt+F4. And do a Google image search. For kittens. In a bucket. And try to forget you ever saw this blog.
You've been warned. _____________________________________
