"These are all from Operation Enduring Freedom from March up until October 2011. The men in these pictures are all Combat Engineers. Pictures 6 and 7 are of a 40 LB IED attached to a nonmetallic pressure plate, picture 8 is what it will do to a regular pickup. The days that I spent over in Afghanistan were the most miserable yet enlightening days of my life. It made me realize how lucky we,  Americans, really are. Can't wait to go back and get some more." Thank you Eric for sending these in.

    a 71 Thank you for your service, I am humbled by your bravery and courage. God Bless you for all that you do. You and your brothers in arms keep us safe from terrorists. I have no fear of going anywhere because you guys bring the fight to them. Come home safe. Keep Calm and Chive On!
    P.S Thank you for sharing your life in photos with us. it is also appreciated

    #17 is just awesome

  • Franklin1138

    So A 71, I'm interested to know. Those IEDs, are they set up to only take out vehicles, or would a human set it off if they accidentally stepped on the pressure plate?

    Thanks for being a Marine, man! When I was in the Army we (of course) used to enjoy a joke at the Marines' expense, but then I got a platoon sergeant who had been a Marine Scout Sniper during the first Gulf War. After a few beers sometimes he'd tell us some stories, and let me tell you, we started respecting Marines real quick. Oo-rah!

    • A 71

      It depends Franklin. Some are made to be more sensitive than others. For example, you could make one that a human could jump on and not blow up but a vehicle can still trigger it.
