Appache at FOB Speicher near Tekrit. Troops on detail picking up Foreign Objects and Debri (FOD) from one of the runways. Mountains on the Iranian border nearly visible in the distance.

Very old photo by the way.

When the U.S. pulled out of Speicher, I figured all the regime's bravado and threats against Iranian WMD production were little more than meaningless bullshit. Why would anyone relinquish such a strategic facility.
