For the third time in five years, Mike Perra (above) has put aside chasing fish for hunting bombs in Iraq. Like thousands of other soldiers, he’s got a love of the outdoors that helps him cope with his mission. Here he is with munitions pulled out of a station wagon in Baghdad (top right); on his boat, the Mean Mary, with a 55-pound cod (bottom); and on shore with a mako (top left).
