    A few good pics, though I'm not sure they're the best collections I've seen on the Web. Some photos certainly are graphic, though if one considers them disturbing, one probably wants to wonder what one is doing on a military forum.

    Some great pics, the ones of kids are harrowing..http://www.fotos.geschichtsthemen.de/iraq-war/fotos/Iraq_March/03_24_iraq_c.jpg this one in particular is worrying. That look like an execution to anyone else? The fall of the body and blood pooling.

    No. Three guys, military uniform, shot advancing in an open field, maybe? Looks like a pic from the invasion itself judging from the fact the US soldier is wearing a chemical suit, the Iraqi army did not always just surrender instead of fighting. Judging from the condition of the bodies, photo taken some time after death, plenty long enough for any military equipment to have been policed up.

    Hmmm possibly, just the way they are sprawled looks odd, arms up as if fallen face first, unless they were both miraculously shot in the head whilst walking in a straight line formation. With the additional body just off screen to left in same line adds further to it.

    Do chemical suits not have gloves? The soldier in that pic isn't wearing any gloves:confused:

    Blood pools at their heads but no discernable entry / exit.

    Maybe I'm just watching too much CSI :D

    There are different MOPP levels, varying from just wearing a mask and having the suit in the backpack to wearing absolutely everything including the boots and gloves. When the Americans invaded, the standard posture had them already wearing the suits, to save time putting them on in the event of an expected chemical attack, but wearing the whole shebang would have been arduous.
