A few decent images but nothing that blew me away...(the insurgent? being
carted
off was a good catch)  maybe it's my ancient screen but I thought the colors
were
a bit "muddy" with lower contrast than I like :-(  Hopefully, he did better
with his
M6.  :-)  I was over there for two weeks in 1990...when I got back I found
sand
in places where light and air can't get into!!  The M4s held up nice though!
;-)
I don't see the M8 holding up over there for an entire 1 year tour.  I guess
that's
the trade-off for transmitting images "real time"
