Get This Man A Chair

In a photo taken near Basra on Nov. 15, 2005, an Iraqi soldier is shown sitting among dozens of old artillery pieces that were seized and later destroyed by British and Iraqi troops, thus preventing the weapons from being converted into IEDs. Which leads me to ask the obvious question, namely... what the hell is the guy doing sitting among dozens of old artillery pieces?!? I mean, are things so bad in Iraq that a guy can't find a more comfortable place to sit than on a huge pile of bombs? Holy crap, is this war eff-ed up.
