AFGHANISTAN-US-MARINES-TATTOOS
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY KARIM TALBI
3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, Sergeant Paul Williams, 20, of Fostoria, Ohio, poses to show his tattoos, including two bull dogs (or "Devil Dogs", a nickname used by US Marines to address eachother which was allegedly given to them by the Germans in the First World War), and lyrics from the Dire Straits song Brothers in Arms "Through these fields of destruction / baptisms of fire / I've witnessed all your suffering / as the battle raged higher", for a portrait at the entrance to a bunker at a base in Marjah, Helmand province, southern Afghanistan, on March 20, 2010. Most US marines sport several tattoos, commonly to tell the story of their lives as soldiers, to vanquish their fears, honour their comrades or to proclaim their love. AFP PHOTO/Mauricio LIMA
