SF Soldier attempts to save girl and left paralyzed (Story and gofundme link)

A Special Forces solider has been left paralyzed from the neck down after diving into the waters off Florida's Panhandle to save a girl from drowning. A little over a week ago, 32-year-old Sergeant First Class Tim Brumit jumped into the waves at Crab Island, near Destin, during a storm. He heard screams that a 13-year-old girl was in trouble, and despite others yelling out not to go in the water in stormy conditions, the Army Ranger acted instinctively and dove right in. During an interview with WEAR-TV, Brumit said,

Marine Corps declares F-35B Operational (8 HQ photos and story)

Posted: 03 Aug 2015 12:09 PM PDT

WASHINGTON — In a milestone for the F-35 joint strike fighter, the US Marine Corps today declared the F-35B jump-jet model to have achieved initial operational capability (IOC). The news means that the Marines consider the F-35B model – one of three designs of the multi-role fighter — to be an active plane that can perform in operations the same way any other active aircraft in its arsenal can. The plane was declared operational by Gen. Joe Dunford, the outgoing Marine Corps commandant — and incoming Chairman of the Joint Chiefs — in a July 31 announcement.

TOS-1A Heavy Flamethrower System In Action At The Shikhani Testing Grounds "During the 1970's, the Soviets began experimenting with thermobaric weapons, which use fuels that combust upon contact with oxygen. These weapons are capable of producing huge explosions (compared to ordinary explosives) and thus very effective. As a result of numerous testing, the Soviets came up with the RPO Shmel (Bumblebee) and the TOS-1 Buratino (Pinocchio) While the RPO is a hand-held disposable missile launcher, the TOS-1 is a multiple-missile launch system with 24 barrels based on the T-72 chassis. The TOS-1 is able to devastate enemies in the open field, inside fortifications, and inside lightly armored vehicles such as APC's. The TOS-1's 220mm missiles use propyl-nitrate and light magnesium as fuel. Compared to the BM-30 Smerch MRLS, the TOS-1 is less accurate and has a lower range, but is much more powerful, with the effects of an entire salvo of missiles covering up to 2-3 km2, making it the most powerful missile artillery system in the world. First used in Afghanistan in 1989, The TOS-1 proved a major success and was later used again during the campaign in Chechnya. In 2001, an upgraded version was introduced, dubbed the TOS-1A, which had an improved range of 6 km." That being said "powerful" but not "accurate" counts…I'll take our "Steel Rain". Source
