| PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPRESSION 5 OF AFGHANISTAN: | ||
| BLUE ON BLUEM | ||
| Nightmare under very difficult circumstances. | ||
 |
B |  |
| STURDAY 12th, I face the fact that the flag is being lowered, it was the day of blue on blue. | ||
 |
 |
|
| Many men came together to hear the terrible news, that young guys were killed in action... | ||
 |
 |
|
| ... gave their lives for other people's freedom. Commander Lorraine spoke his words. | ||
| Also two members of the Afghan National Army were killed this day in action. | ||
 |
 |
|
| A very sad moment. The group carries their fallen mate into a Hercules for his last flight home | ||
|
Let us hope that all these young people's lives that were taken, and all others from all other nations may contribute to a better world for the Afghan people, a better world in general so afterwards all those who remain behind can say at least: 'They did not die for nothing'. |

 |
 |
|
| Civilian helicopters are also in use, as this hughe Mil MI-26 'Halo' | ||
 |

|
| USAF 'Tankbuster' A-10 'Warthog' prooves his ability once more. Right a Medevac Blackhawk | ||
