Morte is one of those everyday guys we all need to know about. He’s taken the ugly Iraq “problem” and looked at how to begin to solve it from a different point of view. When he needs an extra boost as I’m sure he often does, tell him he’s doing some great work that is really making a HUGE difference!

Glad to see a positive story like this from Iraq. I wish the public could see more stories like this. If average people were bombarded with positve press on a daily basis, peoples’ opinions of the war would be different. Obviously I want the truth, but it’s painfully clear that some media outlets only care about the negative stories.
Unfortunatly most people never hear about the good things that go on in Iraq, and sadly that is causing us to lose the public opinion war. I don’t know where it breaks down, but ideally people should be presented with as much fact as possible, and allowed to make their own descisions based on fact. Not the “Daily Show’s” version of fact.

Emastro,
Relax, dude. I edited and posted the story and photo. I was there. Morte, unlike the force protection soldiers, made an effort to keep his rifle discreetly out of sight during his visit to the orphanage. Yes, the rifle appears in the photo, but people do move around, you know? And no, he did not point his rifle at any children.

he rifle disappears behind his back.
Behind his back hell– what’s that in his right hand?
Looks like the scope to his rifle– He could have it pointed at that kid in front of him in like half a second? Who edited this story/photo?
