LCpl B - the Funny Man

Published:

Description

LCpl B, my assigned "battle buddy". We split up partners before we got to the desert - you never go out there without someone to be accountable to; a marine was lost out there once and wasn't found until years later. His body had been eaten, and only part of his jaw remained. They found his clothing and identification yards back. Coyotes, snakes, and vultures out here took care of the rest. For this trip, we had the partners set up with one higher rank and a lower rank per pair. LCpl B is a good kid, new to the Corps, but with a quick sense of humor and a kind word for (almost) everyone.

You know, I really like this one because I get mixed feelings when I see it. To me, when I think of a Marine, I think of a battle-ready soldier; someone who is stiff, stern, and maybe even cold. That is what can be seen in this picture. But we also see something else here. We see a smile on that Marine's face. He's sitting in a military vehicle with his uniform, gear, and gun ready to face death or execute it at any give moment and yet we see a bright and genuine smile spread across his face, like a light in the darker truth of reality.
