[quote]Airman First Class (A1C) William Hart Pitsenbarger, Pararescue Crew Member, Detachment 6, 38th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS) lowered onto a roadway after an extraction of an Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) soldier from a burning minefield at Bien-Hoa Air Base for immediate medical attention. The soldier lost a foot when he stepped on a landmine. Nobody could figure out how to extract the wounded soldier without tripping the mines. A1C Pitsenbarger said, "No problem, just lower me down on the penetrator, IÕll straddle the guy, pick him up, and then you can lift me up." Risky as everyone knew that the prop wash could also setoff the mines. A1C Pitsenbarger earned the AirmanÕs Medal and VietnamÕs Medal of Military Merit and the Gallantry Cross with Bronze Palm for this action.[/quote]

Gives you an example of the age of the average soldier, he must be 19, he also looks miserable.

The vietnam war was a miserable time. The only relief and fun you could have was shooting vietcong children, gouging out their eyes and placing poker cards on their corpse in a ritualistic manner.

[quote]Russian marines march along Red Square during the Victory Day military parade in Moscow. Russia, on Monday, May 9, 2011. Tens of thousands of granite-faced soldiers marched in lockstep across Red Square Monday in Russia's annual Victory Day display of military might, while President Dmitry Medvedev said the country is committed to peace and global stability. The parade, marking the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II, is the centerpiece of Russia's most solemn secular holiday, both commemorating the Soviet Union's enormous sacrifices in the war and asserting the potency of its modern military.

[quote]The Christian based movement, which claims thousands of supporters around the country and world, was founded by the Oakland, California-based Harold Camping. Camping is President of Family Stations Inc., a religious broadcasting network that promotes the belief that May 21, 2011 is Judgment Day. Camping claims to have come to this date by a deep and complex study of religious texts. Camping was wrong on his prior end-of-the-world prediction in 1994.

I live near Paya Lebar Air Base which has been practising for the RSAF Open House the past few weeks.

I managed to get a quick shot of a passing Apache.

Just past the white fence and over the thick vegetation is the air base.
