      Hah, my "this picture is going to vanish" intuition was right! I got it just in time.

      I know I probably ought to make local mirrors of all the pictures I post, but it's more work...

        I think it might have been. I saw bits of it on "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central. They showed a military base in Kuwait getting the crap kicked out of in a sand storm. They mentioned that was the primary army/infantry base near Southern Iraq, identified it as in Kuwait, and identified it as "Camp Coyote"

        Jon Stewart even joked about it. Paraphrased: "This demonstrates how much military superiority you have when you can loudly tell the world where your base is and what it's named."
