    A tank scans the surrounding area as it provides security for special forces during Operation Helmand Viper, Oct. 20. During the operation, Bravo Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, led the support mission for special forces. The operations’ focus was to find and destroy weapons caches, improvised explosive devices and drug producing facilities. Coalition forces localized their efforts to Zamindawar, a known insurgent hotbed between Musa Qal’ah and Kajaki.

    This still image provided on Tuesday by IntelCenter shows the Taliban associated video production group Manba al-Jihad December 7, 2010 release of someone that appears to be US soldier Bowe Bergdahl (L), who has been held hostage by the Taliban since his disappearance from his unit on June 30, 2009. Also with him in this clip appears to be Taliban commander Maulawi Sangin (R). He had contacted the media on July 16, 2009 and threatened to kill Bergdahl but has not been seen in a video with him before. This footage appears next to previously released footage, however, this video contains a non-cropped version of the previously released footage that has never been seen. The footage of Bergdahl in this video is brief and not the focus of the release unlike the past three hostage videos which featured him.

    I know it says military photos but I think this vid is an outstanding tribute to a person who lost their life.

    Colonel Farr just retired. And when I say “just retired,” I mean last week—April 25, 2013.At the time of his retirement, Colonel Farr was one of only 13 still in the Army who had served in Vietnam and the third-longest serving soldier on Active Duty

    • Bowe Bergdahl was captured by Taliban fighters in 2009
    • Taliban leaders and U.S. officials are scheduled to discuss his potential release later this week
    • In exchange for Bergdahl's release, the Taliban wants the U.S. to release prisoners from Guantanamo Bay
    • GITMO detainees cannot be released without Congressional approval

    Polska Zbrojna (Armed Poland) is a weekly magazine on military and military history published in Poland. It is the largest regular publication in Poland focusing on that subject area.
    It is one of the oldest Polish magazines, first published in 1921 as a newspaper and semiofficial publication of the Polish Ministry of National Defense. Its publication was interrupted by World War II. It resumed publication after the war, from 1950 to 1991 under the name "Żołnierz Wolności" (Soldier of Freedom). In 1991 it returned to its original name, and soon afterwards was turned into a weekly. In was published by Bellona Publishing House, and most recently by the Military Editorship, an agency of the modern Polish Ministry of National Defense.
