Moon dust gets everywhere.

Not every person digging next to a road is putting in
an IED. Sometimes they are putting in home-made power
lines – helping themselves.
![Page 22: Usmc Coin Helmand Province Aar Via Photos 23 Oct 20091](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54b2cd1c4a79596d218b45b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
