Some RL Pictures That Will be Used In a 2nd Edition of "Mobilized!" (Patreon)

I wasn't 100% happy with the way the "BOHICA Blues: Mobilized!" books came out. They were my first ever books and I didn't know what I was doing, so I was happy on one level to do them and proud of the work I did, but as the year has stretched on I realize that mistakes were made and improvements could be made. 

So I'm going to do a second edition of the book (good thing the ISBN numbers allow for reprints). It will be awhile but I want to get them out this year in time for the Pritzker Military Museum and Library release of the books. I will also mail out the newer, better version to my Patreon supporters here that qualify (books 2 and 3 will also be sent out once they are printed as well!). 

I'm going to embellish the second edition with some real-life photographs of my time in training and in Iraq, but  I figured I'd share them here with you, my awesome Patreon team, first!

There really was a "Jihad Quarter" to Baghdad.

This one was a favorite, and was the direct inspiration for this comic, which was one of my earliest and to this day remains one of the apparent fan favorites:

Enough for now! More later!
