This looks almost like a scene from a computer game which I find very interesting and poignant. There's a certain sense distance or separation from reality playing a game about war. Obviously this is real life (although a drill as you describe) but I think that in some ways the training of soldiers is treated a lot like a computer game, especially if simulations are incorporated. Pilots for example have their game-like heads-up displays and controls so I suppose there's a similar sense of distance and a disconnection from the enemy who you may not even see but is another human being after all.

Gets a bit bloodier down at ground-level, I assure you... that sense of disconnection you mention disappears with the very first incoming round. Plus you're usually breathing through your ass trying to move fast enough so as not to present too easy a target to whoever might be out there.

Just an awesome shot, it's not too dangerous to take photos at this time?

Well...yes, but that's the nature of the job. If i didn't take risks, I'd never get the images. I just have to decide when it's REALLY too dangerous...

Cameras make you bullet-proof if you believe in the power of silver halides. Doesn't work with pixels though...
