Chris' Deployment Journal

Remember what I said about young kids working? Here are two young brothers driving a load of cinder blocks with a very old and well-worn tractor. The tractor conked out near my guard tower and the older brother hopped right down and started to work on it. He pushed away the little brother a few times, with much gesticulation and passionate words as is common here for men to do. But, after the older brother gave up in frustration, it was the little brother (seated on the fender) who eventually got the machine running again.
