Wacky....Photo Thought....Soldier Portraits

Been thinking of a rather wacky and potentially dangerous photo portrait series. What if I went to some 3rd world African nation that was involved in a war and did a series of portraits of the soldiers/fighters on both sides. These photographs would not involve battle but would be straight on portraits shot of individuals from all ranks and from both sides of the conflict (similar to the single Bill Burke shot of the Cambodian fighter).

I would shoot the series with a 8x10 camera or the razzle.

hmm just a wacky thought but maybe a possibility to make some good photographs.
