| Spec Ops: Soldier and Dog Drop In... From 10,000 Ft! | |
| 2010-03-17 | |
| Dropping from 10,000ft, they glide in order to land unnoticed. The dogs often carry cameras and are trained to attack anyone carrying a weapon. "Dogs don't perceive height difference, so that doesn't worry them. They're more likely to be bothered by the roar of the engines, but once we're on the way down, that doesn't matter and they just enjoy the view," said the dog handler. "It's something he does a lot. He has a much cooler head than most recruits." Go see the article, one of the coolest pics you'll see today - Fred, the pic is poach-worthy (in a fair use kind of way of course).

| #5 I've jumped out of airplanes, crawled through jungle, and fought the mobs at the free 4th of July Beach Boys concert on the Mall in DC. This, however, is something I don't think I'd be willing to do, especially as cold as it looks in that photo. The man and dog both have my respect. I'll go quietly to my corner now and play with my stamps and toy soldiers... |
