#brownout

Insomniac #soldierporn: Nocturnal predators venture forth.

Soldiers with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, walk into the sunset to catch their flight out of Forward Operating Base Pacemaker. The soldiers were on a mission to deliver holiday gifts of cookies, candy and personal hygiene products to the outlying FOB. A Chinook helicopter flew in to pick the soldiers up; the resulting brownout caused the foggy look of the photograph.
