We find this gypsy caravan looking for trouble...
Marines with C Company, 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, scan the hills of the Bahram Chah valley for an insurgent mortar spotter during Operation Rawhide II in Helmand province, Afghanistan, March 16. Throughout the four-day raid on the key insurgent trafficking hub on the Pakistan border, insurgent spotters attempted to creep over the hill line to call in fire on Marine positions. Photo by Sgt.

If you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you instead.  Looks exposed to me but i'm sure they know what they are doing.

If the Bad Guys toys cannot reach you from beyond your line of sight, while yours can reach him, is "exposed" REALLY all that bad?  Now if the Bad Guys had Air, that could be a different story...

That's water and probably a ration box, PE.

John,

I see what you're saying but what's the guy doing who is leaning against the back door and appears to be playing an invisible violin?

Listening to his radio, Steve.  That silver thing is the antenna.

 No, he's trying to download Gingerbread on his HTC because the Android Store went live on Amazon this morning.
