I understand the shock, and at first glance it would seem that those US soilders where just goofing off, snapping seemingly random shots. But, maybe it's time to be a bit objective, and search for understanding.

Contrast to the middle east culture, where women are to be the ones on the end of a leash, unedujukated . . .in a burka. (do they have leather spiked burkas?)
Yup! Let's face it, the Arab culture is one that places women on the same level as dogs. So, to see women driving trucks, carrying arms, working alongside the male troops? Quite an ego deflator to the enemy...As far as being worried that the Arab world will hate us for this? Uh, wake up guys...the Arab world already hates us.
