This picture looks photo shopped. Dust rising from a hit on a vehicle? I don't buy it but I'm willing to listen. The guy lying on the ground...on the left...I don't buy it.

I barely looked at that photo at first, but now that you mention it, the more you inspect it the stranger it looks. 1) There seems to be a detonation in a vehicle that has already been destroyed. 2) The powerplant looks to be on fire, yet the apparently injured soldiers on the right almost seem to be taking shelter in the shadow of its smoke. Two other soldiers, apparently unconscious, are layed out right next to the burning truck. Helluva place to position injured. 3) Some idiot local has casually parked his little sedan with the driver's door ajar next to a burning military vehicle. Maybe he's parked there just having a cigarette. 4) The injuries to the soldiers do not seem comensurate with the amount of damage to the vehicle. Perhaps this image isn't photoshopped, but it might be posed or the result of some kind of drill or exercise. In any case, it doesn't look natural.
The guy lying on the ground...on the left...I don't buy it. From comments on the wired.com "danger room" article: "Posted by: JIEDDO | 10/27/09 | 6:30 pm The picture is from a realistic training exercise, supported by the JIEDDO Joint Center of Excellence (JCOE) at the National Training Center in Ft. Irwin, CA."
