Local Iraqi Market

This is an Iraqi market with vendors situated in little shops. The vehicles in this town are as interesting as the people here. Some vehicle barely run, some have bullet holes in them. The scary thing s any of them could be a VBIED set on taking us out. The things you see people transporting during vehicle searches amazes me sometimes. One of our soldiers opened up the trunk of a car and found a live full grown sheep stuffed inside, needless to say he had a hard time slamming the trunk back down because the sheep wouldn't put his head back down. I have searched nice vehicle that have had live chickens in the back. I have seen small pickups with full grown cows standing in the back. The damn cow is bigger then the vehicle. Some trucks are loaded with so much stuff that the load is as big or bigger than the vehicle. This is a crazy place to be indeed.
