The Soldiers' Morale

I didn't hear about this until today. Anyone who still thinks our soldiers are demoralized after they see this are fools.

The Omaha World-Herald photograph of Sgt. Burghardt displayed above — taken in the aftermath of the bomb blast and showing him "standing on his own two feet, pants cut off, legs bandaged and directing a single-digit salute of defiance at his attackers" — appeared in that newspaper five days later and quickly became one of the most popular iconic images of the Iraq War.

Check it out. An IED disposal commander gets blown up, flips the terrorists the bird and refuses to go home.
