1. Thanks. I'm totally bamboozled as far as a reaction

How sad.

How cute.

Heartwarming.

Terrifying.

What happened next?

Time to post it outside my office.

Thanks again.

5. Interesting pic...

Interesting picture, but kind of sad too...

If the guy with the RPG fires, any return fire directed at him
has a damn good chance of hitting/killing the kid.:-(

6. Of course...

the US could always fire at them first.

7. Wow

Saving. That's an incredible photo. So many possible interpretations, so many possible future events. Thanks.

10. Future event or past? I got the impression that the guy with the rpg

was looking back and remembering when all he did was swing on the front door, his memory so vivid that you can actually see him as that little boy in the photo.

Intense...
