I want to make an observation. I agree with Ranger Snafu. Some medics, (we use to call them Operational Medics in the SADF), were the most humble, quiet professionals I've ever had the privilege to work with. Ops. Medics were all trained to be airborne. They went into all the hot zones, and saved ma...

Without all the info, my observation is that it appears as if the new US Presedent was tested by the N Koreans and nothing was done.

Yes I know you can “look outside the window” to understand the type of warfare the enemy army is conducting. I am a big fan of battlefield experience that lead to adjustment of tactics. So often army's learn lessons on the battlefield and do not adjust their tactics to compensate for shortcomings. ...

Can any Ranger be so kind and explain the Insignia's on the left chest of the rangers ( as displaying on the photo in the article of the two winner). I can make out two, that of Pathfinder and Jump wings, but not the others.

Not the best place to post this. Maybe the mods. can open a "technical" part to post items like this. For those who are not afraid of Maths or statistics, here is a interesting video on the "predictability" of war. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emn28FrJ6CI" onclick="wi...
