like you said in your post about this being a 7.2 image, it pulled on the heart strings and patriotism of you yanks to your armed forces, if dpc wasnt so usa central i doubt it would have scored as high, i personally gave it a 7, as i appreciated the sentiment as i said a dark dank hello hole in afghanistan but it didnt have the same affect as it would on an american

I have brothers who served in the USMC and shed a tear when I saw this image. I shared this image with friends who served and they all agreed that it conveyed a very strong and emotional message.

im guessing this is sinestrial_leo's shot. looks like his build and know hes in the army/reserves so has the stuff. has the feel of an afghan hell hole, little more light on your back would have seen you score higher.

Out of all the images; I found this one to be the most moving. Very well done, and I'm bumping it up to a 9...

This is a very strong picture. The humble surrounds and a big man on his knees. Lovely entry
Lord, grant me the strength...
