The PLAAF (People's Liberation Army Air Force) is the world's fastest-upgrading Air Force, and soon to be the world's most advanced air force.
The ZTZ99, also known as Type 99, industrial designation WZ123,manufactured by China Northern Industries Group Corporation is the most advanced main battle tank fielded by the Chinese Army (PLA).
Real Military Network's Col. John Antal US Army (Ret.), took a course at the Front Sight firearms training facilities near Las Vegas, Nevada.
Although John is a military-trained marksman, he had no self-defense training. At Front Sight's world class facility, he was taught by seasoned law enforcement professionals to levels that far exceed law enforcement and military standards, without any boot camp mentality or drill instructors attitudes.
Check it out, like John did! After your first self defense firearms training course at Front Sight you will leave with self defense firearms training skills that surpass 99% of the gun owning population. This is no exaggeration. You'll be a self defense gun training expert among your peers.

Quoted from EA:
Leave a Message was crafted with three goals in mind: authenticity, respect and above all, a special nod to Steven Spielberg (who created the Medal of Honor franchise over a decade ago). How this was approached was to recreate the Omaha Beach landing with Jimmy Patterson, except now, instead of arriving on the shores of occupied France in the hull of a Higgins Boat, we have our Rangers arriving in the Shahi-Kot Valley in the modern day equivalent -- the CH-47 Chinook Helicopter. This trailer leaves a lasting impression on everyone who sets eyes on it, as it prepares players for an Army Ranger experience that only Medal of Honor can deliver. View trailers, screenshots, concept art and more that Medal of Honor has to offer through Tier 1 Central exclusively at www.MedalofHonor.com."
By modifying an ink jet printer and growing skin cells from a patient's body, a U.S. Army research lab has developed an amazing treatment for severe burns: printing new skin.
Once the patient's skin cells are in a sterile ink cartridge, a computer uses a three dimensional map of the wound to guide the printing.
"The bio-printer drops each type of cell precisely where it needs to go," explains Kyle Binder, a biomedical scientist at the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine's Wake Forest lab. "The wound gets filled in and then those cells become new skin."

About The Academy
Renowned as the worlds premier leader development institution, West Point accomplishes its mission by developing cadets intellectually, physically, militarily, ethically, spiritually, and socially. The student body, or Corps of Cadets, numbers 4,400 and each year approximately 1000 cadets join the Long Gray Line as they graduate and are commissioned as a 2nd Lt in the U.S. Army.
Recent acknowledgments of our success include Forbes.com pronouncing West Point as the Best Public College or University in America for undergraduate education, U.S. News and World Report calling us the Best Public Liberal Arts College in the country, and the Princeton Review designating the Academy as one of the 100 Best Value Colleges for 2009.
The Academic Program consists of 31 core courses which establishes the foundation for elective courses that permit cadets to explore in greater depth a field of study or an optional major. All cadets receive a Bachelor of Science degree, and are fully prepared meet the intellectual requirements of a leader in today's Army.
The Physical Program at West Point includes both physical education classes and competitive athletics. Every cadet participates in an intercollegiate, club or intramural level sport each semester. This rigorous physical program contributes to mental and physical fitness.
The Military Program begins on your first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training - or Beast Barracks - the first year, followed by Cadet Field Training at nearby Camp Buckner the second year. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending advanced training courses such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare; or training the first and second year cadets as members of the leadership cadre.
Ethical, Spiritual, and Social development occurs formally and informally throughout your 47 months as a cadet. These include formal instruction in the important values of the military profession, voluntary religious programs, interaction with staff and faculty role models, and a vigorous guest speaker program. Cadets also develop ethically by adhering to the Cadet Honor Code, which states "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."
Admission is open to all young men and women, and is extremely competitive. You will be evaluated on your academic, physical and leadership potential. Those candidates who are fully qualified receive appointments to the Academy.

'We Will Remember Them'
Stars Record Tribute to Troops
A cast of 200 Donate their Time to Raise Money In Abbey Road Studios Biggest Ever Recording Session
"We will remember them, Give thanks and honour them, For our tomorrow, They gave their today"
Released on Sunday 8th November on iTunes and various other download stores.
Music stars have gathered to record a moving tribute to British Armed Forces past and present.
On Sunday 1st November 200 people spilled into Abbey Road Studios, donating their time and talent to record an Anthem as a Thank You to all our Military personnel who have served our country protecting our freedom.
This was the biggest ever 1 day session to be staged at Abbey Road in the history of the famous recording studios.
Multi-million selling artists from Michael Bolton to Robin Gibb, to Haley Westenra contributed to the song, written by A1's Mark Read and Whitesnake's Robert Hart. They performed alongside The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Pipes & Drums from the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Drumming, Bugles from The Academy of Music at Kneller Hall, a Choir of Celebrities and the Carmel Thomas Youth Choir.
Paul Carrack, Kenny Jones, Paul Rodgers, Lee Mead, Mark Read, Mica Paris, Natasha Hamilton, Haley Westenra, Carol Decker, Nell Bryden and Liz McClarnon also starred.
"I never miss an opportunity to thank our troops," said Michael Bolton, who dropped everything while rehearsing for performances at the Royal Albert Hall this week to take part. "They are the bravest people you'll ever meet."
'We Will Remember Them itself goes back to the the first world war', explains Robin Gibb, 'but it's very significant and it makes people stop and think just what these guys are doing for their country'.
Joseph star Lee Mead: 'Two or three hours in a recording studio on a Sunday is nothing compared to what our troops go through every day'
'I know people out there in the military, someone close to me was in Afghanistan and was blown up in his tank,' says Natasha Hamilton os Atomic Kitten, 'He has been in rehabilitation for many months. When it's someone that you know that's been out there fighting, it brings it home how important it is to remember through song.'
ALL proceeds go directly to the Royal British Legion and the Help For Heroes charity by SRLV Accountants and Coutts Bank. The money will help support injured troops and their families whose loved ones have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
"This is an appeal to raise funds to help and support the families who have lost or suffered horrendous injuries in their Military service", says Kenny Jones. "In addition, the Anthem will also remember all our Service Men and Women from all past conflicts."
In addition to the musicians and Artists involved in the recording, a 30 man film crew with 9 cameras donated their time and have documented this auspicious occasion. A video / DVD will also support the release of the single.

"When thinking about the mass extermination camps of a holocaust think..
The key to freedom is to be able to have the ability to defend yourself &, if you dont have the tools to do that, then youre going to be at the mercy of whomever wants to put you away.
Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.
The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.
This is in a very large part due to Switzerland's unique system of national defence, developed over the centuries.
Instead of a standing, full-time army, the country requires every man to undergo some form of military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of their lives.
Between the ages of 21 and 32 men serve as frontline troops. They are given an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home.
Once discharged, men serve in the Swiss equivalent of the US National Guard, but still have to train occasionally and are given bolt rifles. Women do not have to own firearms, but are encouraged to."
"Afghan National Army Air Corp's Quick Reaction Force begins to train and mentor other Afghan Soldiers. Tech Sgt. Michael Hughes has more from Afghanistan."
"A U.S. Army cadet reads a book entitled "Kill Bin Laden" as he waits with other cadets for U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver an address on U.S. policy and the war in Afghanistan at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York December 1, 2009. Obama is expected to announce a plan to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan over six months in a bid to beat back the Taliban and bring a quicker end to a costly and unpopular eight-year war."
<b>IT IS DECISION TIME for the United States in Afghanistan and President Barak Obama is dithering. Will he choose a counterinsurgency strategy, a counter-terrorism strategy or pull out?</b>
After eight years of war, a resurgent Taliban and a defiant al-Qaeda are fighting fiercely in Afghanistan and attacks against American and NATO troops are at an all time high. The fledgling Afghan Army is growing in quality and numbers, but effective Afghan Army units are still too few to control the country or replace US and NATO troops. The Afghan police force is rife with corruption and is deemed by most sources as unreliable. Afghan governance under President Karzai, after a fraudulent August 29, 2009 election, is problematical.
At the center of the war in Afghanistan is a debate over the strategy the US will follow for the next step of the Afghanistan campaign. Will the strategy be a determined and fully resourced counterinsurgency (COIN) campaign or a more kinetic, smaller footprint, counterterrorist (CT) effort?
On Monday, October 20, 2009, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters that he doesn't expect the disputed Afghan election to delay President Obama's decision on future U.S. operations there. "The outcome of the elections and the problems with the elections have complicated the situation for us. But the reality is, it's not going to be complicated one day and simple the next," Gates said. "We're going to have to work with this going forward, and I believe the President will have to make his decisions in the context of that evolutionary process." Gates went on to say that "We are not leaving Afghanistan. This discussion is about next steps forward and the president has some momentous decisions to make."
Gates’ statement was a shot heard round the world. The President, who has deferred selecting a strategy for Afghanistan, is now being pressured by his Secretary of Defense to decide.
Back on March 27, 2009, President Obama set the course for the war in Afghanistan by stating: “We have a clear and focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either country in the future.” On June 15, 2009, General Stanley McChrystal was recommended by Secretary Gates and handpicked by President Obama to lead the US effort in Afghanistan as the Commander, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A). As ISAF Commander, McChrystal is in command of a force with 42 Troop Contributing Nations with a total strength: approx 67,700 troops.
The problem is that this is not enough troops to accomplish the mission. Upon taking command, General McChrystal conducted a thorough study of what it would take to win in Afghanistan. He forthrightly offered his estimate of the situation to President Obama in late September in 2009. His recommendation for a counterinsurgency strategy, and his request for more troops to make that strategy work, has stirred up a political firestorm in the US.
McChrystal’s approach, which was backed in an announcement by NATO military chiefs on October 17, 2009, is to conduct an effective counterinsurgency campaign that will require a long-term commitment from NATO and the United States. He stated this guidance on July 20, 2009: “Our strategic goal is to defeat the insurgency threatening the stability of Afghanistan. Like any insurgency, there is a struggle for the support and will of the population. Gaining and maintaining that support must be our overriding operational imperative - and the ultimate objective of every action we take. We must fight the insurgents, and will use the tools at our disposal to both defeat the enemy and protect our forces. But we will not win based on the number of Taliban we kill, but instead on our ability to separate insurgents from the center of gravity – the people. That means we must respect and protect the population from coercion and violence - and operate in a manner which will win their support.”
This counterinsurgency strategy will "clear, hold, and build" in Afghanistan to win back public support and to do this General McChrystal needs more troops. In September 2009 McChrystal asked for 40,000 more US combat. He may need as many as 80,000.
If the Obama grants McChrystal the 40,000-troop increase, the total number of allied troops would rival the number of troops deployed during the Iraq war surge – a surge that many Democrats argued against. Many Democrats are against an Afghan surge. The Obama administration, therefore, is in an intense ideological and strategic debate over the merits of deploying the additional combat troops to Afghanistan.
Obfuscating the decision is the argument that the Taliban and al-Qaeda are different and separate enemies; that US forces should focus on the destruction of al-Qaeda and do its best to negotiate and make a deal with the Taliban.
Although a divide and conquer strategy often makes sense in war, especially in tribal wars, it is very difficult to tell apart the Taliban fighters from al-Qaeda fighters as they are largely indistinguishable. The Taliban’s goals and the goals of al-Qaeda are very closely aligned. "We want to eradicate Britain and America and to shatter the arrogance and tyranny of the infidels,” Ay'atulah Mahsoud, the emir of the Pakistani Taliban, has said. "We pray that Allah will enable us to destroy the White House, New York and London."
Some in Washington, like US Vice President Joe Biden, are very skeptical of the counterinsurgency strategy and see it as a long, expensive and fruitless effort to modernize a land that has defied outside influence for centuries. They believe that the Iraq counterinsurgency model will not apply to Afghanistan. They also argue that attempting to reengineer Afghan society to model western democracy with a strong central government is folly. They point out that with US ground forces stretched thin and NATO unwilling to commit many more troops to the combat effort in Afghanistan, the success of any counterinsurgency strategy is dubious.
The Biden strategy emphasizes a counter-terrorism approach that reduces the number of conventional combat troops on the ground, creating a smaller “footprint” that minimizes the potential for the Afghan population to see the introduction of additional troops as an occupation force of foreign invaders. The number of special forces units, however, would increase. These special forces units would go deep into enemy territory to gather information and target al-Qaeda high-value targets.
The counter-terrorism strategy also fails the reality test of recent history. Successful attacks against al-Qaeda leaders since 2001 indicate that al-Qaeda is not a self-contained organization that can be easily destroyed by decapitation and that it is, in many aspects, a leaderless Jihad. In August and September of 2009, for example, predator drones attacked al-Qaeda leaders deep in Pakistan's lawless, Taliban-controlled tribal regions. The strikes had dramatic success and resulted in the deaths of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud and three senior al-Qaeda leaders. This effort was a victory, a setback for al-Qaeda, but not a war-winner. In the McChrystal’s view, therefore, al-Qaeda is a multi-headed hydra that cannot be decapitated but must be starved from its support: The Afghan people.
McChrystal has directed that the focus of every effort be to gain strategic success by winning the support of the population. To win their support, he must protect them from the Taliban until there are enough Afghan National Army troops to protect their own country. McChrystal believes that a successful counterinsurgency in Afghanistan requires enough troops to provide this security – hence his request for 40,000 more US combat trips -- while other forces live with the Afghan people to win the trust of the villagers and tribes. Minimizing friendly Afghan casualties is paramount. Fighting the insurgents is still an important part of this effort, but the focus is not just on winning tactical victories.
The 64 million dollar question in this strategic debate is the stability of nuclear-armed Pakistan. The strategic linkage between Afghanistan and Pakistan cannot be underestimated and the decision on which strategy to adopt must consider the long-term effect on Pakistan. Al-Qaeda lives, recruits, trains and grows in the badlands of Pakistan. Many Pashtuns in Pakistan and Afghanistan consider themselves as part of a Pashtun tribal nation and not as citizens of either country. Decoupling the war in Afghanistan with the crisis in Pakistan is impossible. If either the counterinsurgency or counter-terrorism strategy fails in Afghanistan, the effect future of nuclear-armed Pakistan will be dire.
When asked if he could support a counter-terrorism strategy that focused on the use of fewer troops and high tech weaponry to kill al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders, his short answer was: “No.”
The President, therefore, has a difficult decision to make, but the decision must be made, and made soon. Every day he vacillates, the enemy grows bolder in their beliefs that we are tiring of the fight. Every day he hesitates, the Afghan people grow more suspicious of our promises to stick with them in this fight. Every day he postpones, more American troops are endangered. To employ either strategy half-heartedly, not only crushes all hope, but also courts disaster.
The choice is clear and General McChrystal, the commander on the ground, has done his duty and is asking for the resources to finish the job. The only strategy that offers the hope of a lasting victory is the counterinsurgency strategy that McChrystal has laid out. To execute any other strategy, would be to renege on US obligations, to back out of promises to our allies and abandon the Afghans.
We asked 42 nations to fight with us in Afghanistan and they answered the call. We asked the Afghans to fight with us and their role in their own defense is growing every day. We have spent precious lives, losing over eight hundred Americans in combat in Afghanistan since 2001. We have spent much time, money and effort. Now, the US is at a decision point and the decision rests with the Commander in Chief. We must have the courage of our convictions an see this fight through. If we don’t, it could begin a cascading catastrophe that we will forever regret.
In the end it all comes down to hope. Americans need to know that our blood and treasure expended in Afghanistan will be for a good and lasting purpose. The Afghans, who have lived in an endless war, need to know that the Americans will stick with them and will not abandon them. The Afghans want justice, more than freedom. Secure these goals and there may be hope for Afghanistan.
