Pre 9/11 the base my father worked at had armed forces day, seeing all these kids interacting with the equipment and the cool deminstrations brings me back to my youth! Its great they are still doing this in your country.

USSR, don't know if you know our October tradition of Halloween (I think it came to the U.S. from Ireland, originally: All Souls/ Saints Day).

On Halloween, for the last few years I've been handing out candy at the door dressed in a Ghillie Suit:

- Kids are always running to the door, like they can't get there for candy soon enough

- 'til they see me come out the door in the suit.

About drops them dead in their tracks. I think they remember our house!

Little uncertain about these shots USSR:

- This is a young man, like a scouting member, participating in a drone exercise or something?

He is showing that it is OUR YOUNG that are/is fighting the wars of the world, I look back at vn, we were young, now I see troops the same age as we were, I can not believe we looked that young, basically just KIDS being asked to do a SUPER MANS job just as the todays troops world wide are..

It's almost a crime, you know; trapping all these kids and shoving them into wars before they're mature/smart enough to know what they're getting into. But that's the way the trick works. When you're young enough, you feel immortal.

Says a little about that right here:

This is part of the regular army. There are just a lot of different UAVs (different purposes.)

Missile launches are always cool.

Hydraulics for that launcher going vertical are FAST. Is that speed possible with hydraulics?
