Picture of the day

The UN are not only "slavers" but the "biggest most profitable slavers the world has ever seen". Well, slap me shocked. This is certainly news {and much welcome news to the Portuguese I would suppose} Care to explain how the UN is involved in a slave profiteering business, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know?
Many ex Soviet nations are notorious for collecting children and young people for ### slaves all over the world. Do some research, this is well documented and in most cases, the social and judicial elite in these nations are complicit. Same goes for India, Pakistan, Malaysia, China and other nations in those sectors of the world.
Canada, US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden and others have task forces to tackle this problem. They admit they are losing ground every day. Just to much money to be made off the backs of slaves.
This is nothing new. It has been going on since mankind existed.
There are many sites that can explain this to you much better and in clearer terms than I can. Do some searches and make up your own mind.
UN leaders have been notoriously corrupt and complicit in hiding such criminal activity for a long time. Once in a while, they even try to justify it. Check out Bangladesh for starters.
But still the enemy. Doesn't take much to pull a trigger
Equating
Pics are for Tiriaq's digestion. {BTW, there's been a lot of interesting positions taken through out this very interesting thread.}
I don't believe that soldiers fight for ideologies so much as for each other.
They might start off believing the hype programmed into them, but that doesn't withstand the harsh reality of war for long. A soldier of any nationality in the muck and horror of WWI wasn't particularly fighting for the Kaiser of the King - he (a) wanted to survive and (b) his fellow soldiers were what really mattered to him.
When my Panzer Grenadier father-in-law was in retreat, he learned what had been going on behind the lines as the Wehrmacht made their rapid advances in Russia. The round up of "untermenschen" and the brutal reprisals against partisan activities made many enemies who looked for revenge. He was very lucky in that he was captured by partisans, but turned over to the Red Army. Many others were shot out of hand.
He claimed no knowledge of the concentration 'death camps' while fighting but his wife told me that they knew, but it was in your best interest NOT to know ...... such was the power and fear of the SS and Gestapo.

Interesting article i read recently in The Atlantic, about why the photographic record of the Great War was so inadequate compared to those of conflicts that came before and after:
The War No Image Could Capture

Then we have the "Living Room War" that brought the horror and waste of Viet Nam into our evening supper time news.
BTW - I read a forensic analysis of the Robert Capa pic of the falling Royalist soldier. It was the considered opinion of the medical examiner that it was not a staged photo based on the man's hand as he released the rifle and his body language as he fell.
We've all seen the movie images of falling soldiers who seem to pile up in dramatic ways, not haphazardly like the soldier in question.

No Problem: We just need to get the Original Poster to amend the title of his thread to "Picture of the Day, Followed by Discussion About It"...

Here's the first post in this thread:
No offense intended, Tiraq, but it would appear that the posting of a picture followed by discussion was the intent of the original poster. I for one welcome the chat. It allows me to learn quite a bit, and that's why I use the Interwebs.
And in the spirit of Joe's request:
Name that tank!
