The Army just released these haunting images - GoFuckYourself.com

brassmonkey · 05-01-2017, 06:05 PM

The Army has released an image taken by a combat photographer moments before she was killed in an explosion during a 2013 live-fire training exercise in eastern Afghanistan.

Spc. Hilda I. Clayton, a visual information specialist assigned to the 55th Signal Company (Combat Camera), was killed while photographing a live-fire training exercise on July 2 in Laghman Province. Four Afghan National Army soldiers were also killed when a mortar tube accidentally exploded.

One of the Afghan soldiers killed was a photojournalist whom Clayton had been training.

The primary mission of Combat Camera soldiers is to accompany soldiers on deployments to document the history of combat operations.

"Clayton's death symbolizes how female soldiers are increasingly exposed to hazardous situations in training and in combat on par with their male counterparts," the Army said in a statement.

Clayton's name has since been added to the Defense Information School Hall of Heroes at Fort Meade. The award for the winner of Combat Camera's annual competition was also named after her.

"The Spc. Hilda I. Clayton Best Combat Camera (COMCAM) Competition consists of five days of events to test joint service combat camera personnel on their physical and technical skills," the Army said.

Here are the images the Army released:

Looks like the 4 of them got killed instantly. They were right inside the kill zone.

Amazing that the photos were recoverable though. The first one shows shrapnel flying right by the lens.

They don't call them combat photographers for nothing.

Female soldiers, black soldiers, gay soldiers... All those racist and sexual epithets should be forbidden IMHO. They are soldiers and nobody gives a shit about their sex or skin color. They are getting paid for their job. In fact they don't do any job at all (they don't build homes, don't treat your tooth decay and don't educate your kids). They are being paid for doing nothing but risking to be killed on a battlefield. So consider their death as a glory end of the career. Live by the sword, die by the sword </thread>

pornguy · 05-02-2017, 07:32 AM

Im sorry but to me that second photo looks like a screen cap from a video game. Look at the guys hand next to his face.

certainly as hell not trying to take away from the deaths of anyone but.

crockett · 05-02-2017, 07:34 AM

I don't see why they needed to release these pictures.

so when you served you didn't do any job at all? is that what you are saying?

I'm not entirely clear what they were doing... Looks like they set off a bomb and just stood beside it...

Just don't try to even compare the US and Russian army. In Russia the military service is a duty, in the USA it's a job. Here every man of 18-27 year old has to serve in army. That's not his choice. He just has to do it and he won't get paid for that. Course we have a mercenary army as well (e.g. spetsnaz that are trained to be dropped into Western Europe and the USA in case of war to "take care" about your families if they've survived the nuclear strike). But those are getting paid for their job and nobody here gives a shit when they've got killed. They are fuckin' mercenaries.

So I want to make it clear: there are 18 year old kids who serve in army because they "must" and there are mercenaries who's getting paid for that. I I feel for the regular army kids and I don't give a flying fuck for paid soldiers.

Your citizens are forced to serve in the army, and ours do it voluntarily, and yet, we still fucking own your fucking asses.

Fall in line, bitch. America owns your ass.

So you are saying during mandatory military service your guys don't get paid at all? That's kinda like slavery don't you think? Even during the draft in Vietnam & ww2 our guys were paid.

Yes, they are forced like in many other countries like Israel etc. Yours do it for money. How many wars were won by the United States? Zero.

The reason why is that the strength of the American military threatens you.

You are the one that's so insecure that you make 2 posts in this thread demeaning American soldiers to make yourself feel adequate, and you still fail.

Hint: Your insecurity is a weakness

Nothing in the world could be further from the truth.

They don't build homes? Don't treat tooth decay? Don't educate kids? You understand the military does ALL of this, right? They also have cooks, programmers, mechanics; I had a friend of mine in the Marines who was a mortician. Every job in the civilian world is duplicated in the military.

Every place I lived in while in the Marines were built by Marines, every one in the hospital I went to was run by the Navy. For the most part the US military doesn't have civilian ANYTHING - They cut their own grass, mow their own lawns, run their own gyms.

Man, they are fuckin' mercenaries. They live by the sword and they must die by the sword. Get used to that already. As I said above, we have paid soldiers here as well and nobody will cry about them, guess why. Sorry, but over 30,000 of these (counting Chechens were is much more) are ready do be dropped into your land to kill your families. They are trained to make sure your relatives have not survived the nuke bombing. Should I feel for these bastards? I don't think so. They are mercenaries so fuck them.

you should have kept ready, the guy states basically that being a solider is a higher calling than being a gay black lesbian transgender Muslim.

and calling a guy a tard when you can't or wont read is a bit suspect at best

Exactly. I don't like like that sexual/racial bullshit. A soldier is a soldier first and everything else (a skin color, a sex etc) at last.

When someone says I'm anti-American, he is a idiot. I've just said that I have the same filing towards Russian mercenaries too.

No, you misunderstood, you are scared.

You are scared for your country.

You are scared because your failed dictator Putin has painted Russia into a corner with lies & failed deception and you are on the wrong side of Russian history where freedom to the people reigns. The resistance is stronger than you imagine.
