  • More than 2,000 Iowans deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Red Bulls patch emblazoned on their shoulders carried honor and tradition unparalleled in the National Guard, but for Afghans, who saw the devil in the horned silhouette, it symbolized fear. <br />
<br />
Stationed throughout Afghanistan, these soldiers saw more of the country than most Afghans will see in their lifetimes. Yet, the soldiers said that they came home with a hazier understanding of the conflict. They spoke of a struggle to understand America’s role in the region. Deployment was dangerous, but no one could guarantee that the risk and sacrifice would have a lasting effect on the Afghans’ lives.<br />

Melanie Thompson is part of the Standing Rock Lakota  and live just over the South Dakota border in the Bear Soldier District. She and her family moved to the camp four weeks ago. "You can feel the strength of the prayers here," Thompson said, adding, "Poisoning the water is not good for anybody and especially Mother Earth...We don't need the poison to cut right through the middle of the United States."<br />

When visitors turn off a narrow North Dakota highway and drive into the Sacred Stone camp where thousands have come to protest an oil pipeline, they thread through an arcade of flags whipping in the North Dakota wind. Each represent one of 280 Native American tribes that have flocked here in what activists are calling the largest, most diverse tribal action in at least a century, perhaps since Little Bighorn.<br />

<br />
With a Humvee predecessor in the foreground, Sgt. William Sievers stands on top of a JLTV as Army Reserve soldiers train on firing a 50-caliber machine gun mounted on top of the JLTV at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Unlike its predecessors, the JLTV is able to level out its base so that soldiers do not have to compensate for uneven ground beneath the vehicle. This is especially valuable when using the machine gun.<br />
<br />
The Army is replacing the venerable Iraq-era light truck, the Humvee, with a new one called the JLTV. The change is an acknowledgement by the Armed Forces that the era of conventional wars with safe zones behind front lines is likely gone for good, and its troops transports must be ready for an increasingly unpredictable and dangerous world. <br />
