This thread will be for posting pictures and news of it. I guess most of you are more interested in seeing pics compared to words. Also, would be nice to post your own military pics from your country.

[quote]Flowers adorn the barrel of an army tank on Avenue Bourghiba as an un-easy peace hangs over Tunisia on January 20, 2011 in Tunis, Tunisia. Police fired warning shots into the air as demonstrators demanded that ministers linked to ousted president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali leave the government. Crowds gathered outside the party headquarters of the Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD), the ruling party for decades, and cheers erupted as the party signs were torn down from the building. Tunisia's new interim government held its first cabinet meeting, nearly a week after President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali fled the country.

[quote]After two failed attempts at clearing the village resulted in U.S and Afghan casualties, Flynn’s response was to take the village out. He ordered a mine-clearing line charge, using rocket-propelled explosives to create a path into the center of Tarok Kolache.
And that was for starters, Broadwell writes. Airstrikes from A-10s and B-1s combined with powerful ground-launched rockets on Oct. 6 to batter the village with “49,200 lbs. of ordnance” — which she writes, resulted in “NO CIVCAS,” meaning no civilians dead.

HOLY SHIT
Well this isn't major news but a marine died a few days ago at camp pendalton in an AEV accident. The crew did not do a aproper check and accidentally left some hatches open, so once the craft was launched it took on water. Most of the crew escaped but the one marine got his gear caught on something and drown. I only know this because I gpt to watch it sink while out in the field training. We all were standing there watching, it was a sad day.
