Terry Boyd ©Stars and StripesBaghdad, Iraq, April, 2004: First Lt. Nicholas Bradley checks the body of an Iraqi child killed in a mortar attack aimed at American soldiers. Insurgents lobbing mortars into a crowded neighborhood “shows they don’t care,” Bradley said. “IEDs, RPGs and mortars guarantee civilian casualties ...
