 Left to Right; U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Mark Fox, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, Lt. Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of U.S. Air Forces Central Command, Lt. Gen. William G. Webster, commanding general, Third Army, U.S. Army Central, Gen. James Mattis, commander, U.S. Central Command, and Adm. Eric Olson, commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, all view the proceedings at the 50/20 Celebration parade in Kuwait, Feb. 26, 2011. The 50/20 Celebration honors Kuwait’s 50-years of independence as well as 20 years since Kuwait’s liberation and Operation Desert Storm. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Nicholas Salcido Looks like something other than a "celebration". Just look at those facial expressions! Amazing photo. |

The closest guy on our right is the best of all. He's saying: "Do you want to f**k with me?" The second from the right looks panicked. Overlords... go figure!

 Soldiers from 2nd Platoon, A Company 1-118th Infantry Regiment Combined Arms Battalion, scramble into vehicles however they can to escape indirect fire in a small village they were searching as part of Exercise Friendship Two. The exercise combines U.S. soldiers with members of the Royal Saudi Land Forces to conduct training in irregular warfare, Feb. 19-27.The timing of this exercise speaks volumes. http://www.dvidshub.net/news/66715/us-saudi-forces-extend-hands-friendship-two |

 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (R) handles a weapon designed to shoot around corners, as Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev (L) looks on, during his visit to an Interior Ministry Special Forces base outside Moscow March 21, 2011. Medvedev appeared to rebuke Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for using inflammatory language on Monday in his sharpest public criticism of Putin ahead of a 2012 presidential election. Medvedev did not mention Putin by name, but said "crusades", a term Putin had used just hours earlier to refer to the West's call for military action in Libya, was unacceptable. |

 Saudi special forces members of an anti-terror unit display their skills on March 22, 2011 in the Dorma region, 100 kms west of the capital of Riyadh. Looks like the Royal Family is getting into the anti-piracy business market. Look at the blue sand! |

 An Afghan child plays with the muzzle of a US soldier from 1st Regiment 320 Field Artillary 101st Airbourne during the opening ceremony for a newly completed mosque in the village of Tarok Kolache in southern Kandahar province on April 1, 2011 where the US military is funding its rebuilding. In October 2010 Tarok Kolache was completely destroyed by US forces after the Taliban had ousted the villagers and mined the village and surrounding areas. Oh the Irony! |

 A member of the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) oversees a Malian fire team while conducting counter-terrorism operations in an urban terrain environment during Flintlock 10 in Theis, Senegal. The MARSOC are specialized Marines conducting special missions in unique areas, focused on capacity development under the auspices of the Trans-Saharan Counter-Terrorism Partnership. Flintlock 10 is a special operations forces exercise focused on military interoperability and capacity-building and is part of an AFRICOM-sponsored annual exercise program with partner nations in Northern and Western Africa. The exercise, which includes participation of key European nations, is conducted by Special Operations Command Africa and designed to build relationships and develop capacity among security forces throughout the Trans-Saharan region of Africa. Approximately 1,200 European, African Partner Nation and U.S. personnel from 14 nations are involved in military interoperability activities across the Trans-Saharan region during this event.

 April 11, 2011. Contactors from General Atomics load Hellfire missiles onto an MQ-1C Gray Eagle at Camp Taji, Iraq. Just another day at the office. GA has been in the business for a long time; they supply the drones and their buddies from Lockheed make the Hellfires. Their Griffin Eye ISR system will be everywhere soon. |

The double standard has to be abolished for one. Some countries are allowed to produce weapons of mass destruction and some aren't. When these countries try to produce them, the WMD rain down upon them. What a f ucked up world we live in!! |

Bush, the 41st president, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was not present for the White House ceremony, were the senior political figures on the list of 15 recipients. ... Investor Warren Buffett was the one business leader in the group .... The Medal of Freedom is given to people deemed to have made particularly significant contributions to U.S. security, peace generally, or in cultural or other significant areas. ... Obama said Merkel broke barriers in "becoming the first East German and the first woman to become chancellor of Germany," and praised her as "a trusted global partner and a friend" who leads one of America's closest allies. ...   |

.jpg) 26-year old Claudia Mitchell has become the first woman to get outfitted with a bionic arm, with which she’s able to perform functions simply by thinking about them. The arm was designed by researchers at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and works by detecting the movement’s of Mitchell’s chest muscle, which has been rewired to the nerves that once served her left arm. Eventually, researchers say, the arm could even give Mitchell the sense of touch, with electrodes in the hand sending signals to her chest skin, which her brain would recognize as a sensation. http://www.nextnature.net/2006/12/bionic-woman-2/ |

Albert Smith pulls security, two young Afghan boys navigate their way around him in a village near Qalat, Afghanistan, April 26. Members of Provincial Reconstruction Team Zabul visited the village to discuss agricultural issues with the residents. |

Obama later announced that the United States had killed Bin Laden in an operation led by U.S. Special Forces at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Now this is a photo dying for a good caption. |
