What’s wrong with this picture?
Hint: This is what Humvee gunners looked like in Iraq in 2003.
Nothing, artistically. Evocative, in fact. You can almost smell the engine fumes.

But look at the gunner. He is standing there, exposed. No shield, let alone a protective “cupola.”
This is what Humvee gunners looked like in Iraq in 2003. Insurgents quickly figured out that the gunner was vulnerable, especially after the vehicle had passed by them. In response the Army gave gunners more protection.
But this photo is of a member of an Air Force security squadron and it was taken at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea, earlier this month. You’d think the Air Force might have been paying better attention in recent years. I would bet that North Korean infiltrators have.
