Fabulous photo journal on Air Force Pararescue, the "Pedros", in Afghanistan! 

 

Keeping the Bad Guys on the Run - I have seen in the short time here [Afghanistan} the foundation that the Marine Corps stands for. It's beyond "no better friend, no worse enemy."  It's built of honoring your word to locals, defending off hard core fighters that hate and intimidate the weak.  Traits found in every conflict the Marine Corps has fought in are still solid today within our ranks.  Wicked smart leaders, nail strong NCOs and they all have hearts as big as Texas that protect those weak and can turn into your worst nightmare with a flip of a switch to deal with insurgents.  Discipline, dedicated professionals within all the ranks that have already made a difference in the short time here. I know all past/present Marines would be proud of them. I sure as hell am.  More as time permits. Be proud of your warriors, the bad guys are on the run. Read it all here…
