Pics around Victory Base Complex or VBC

Nothing to do since the 14th CSH is in our places working. Just waiting for a ceremony now to make it official.

Here is Lou Stout and I washing our hands at the outside sinks created by Saddam Hussein to go along with his man made lake. It is nasty as hell in the lake so no swimming unless you want to catch something. I am only looking to catch a plane ride home.
More pics around the lake. One on the left shows the top of the perfume palace. Named because the top looks like a bottle of perfume and it is where the hookers stayed.


Palace named - Victory over America. Inside has murals on the wall showing American troops being defeeated by Iraqi soldiers. Saddam built it after the Gulf War and brainwashed his people to believe they defeated the Americans. Of course it was one of the 1st buildings bombed this time. funny...
