I feel outgunned with my medium-sized Nikon D100. Around 9:45pm, I hear a familar voice calling me a "morose mother------." I turn around and see Monstar. I see 95-year old actress Gloria Stewart (she played the old lady in the James Cameron 1997 movie Titanic) at the party. Dean Sussman introduces me to Kirk Brown, who has just returned from his second tour of duty as a "certified protection specialist" to American engineers in Iraq. "The first time I went (April 2004) was after four Blackwater security contractors were killed in Falluja. I was a security contractor on quick reaction forces to protect the power plants being built for the reconstruction of Iraq. "I'm a former Marine. I did eight years. I was in an elite unit. "I'm a bodyguard by trade. I had over 600 hours of training by the Secret Service. "One of those four guys who was killed was a friend of mine (Scott Helvenston). I was the bodyguard to the Japanese president of Sony in Mexico but I left because I thought I could make a difference in Iraq. "The first trip I was on a quick reaction force. If anything happened, we'd get a call, leave our compound, and suppress [the enemy]. "Then I worked for another company [in Iraq] in 2004. I protected the project management personnel. They'd get the contracts to rebuild Iraq. I did that for three months. Came back for a few months and then went back for seven months. "We were stationed outside of Fallujah, a very hostile area. We took a lot of hits, a lot of rockets, firefights. "When the engineers wanted to go somewhere, I would be in charge of the convoy. "The first time [in Iraq], I was expecting a lot worse. The second time, in the last few months, it got really hot. "The Iraqis can't shoot straight. "The news media aren't showing the good parts, the reconstruction parts. The water that is reflowing, the electricity we put together, the buildings we rebuilt. All they're showing is the bombs and the people getting killed." Do you think we're winning? "I think we're winning." Stripdown Magazine Party Pics From Wednesday Night Tara reports:
