But if he doesn't, why post that smilie? Just sayin...

That picture can almost water my eyes at times. A lone human jockeying left and right preventing 4 tanks from getting by. They still don't know what happened to him. The most reliable story is he is now in Taiwan.

Spikes, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. If you really don't know of this picture. Google "tankman".

I remember seeing that issue of NG when in came in the mail in '85. Was one of those things that you never forget. I couldn't believe she was in a refugee camp in Afghanistan. What amazing, beautiful eyes.

I lived in Germany at the time (and had just moved there... so still stretched toward 'all things american,' and spent lots of time at the magazine rack browsing). I remember thinking that she looked like an old woman in a young woman's skin.

I'd be hard pressed to believe that he was allowed to live after that. There are several other accounts stating he was executed (none of which I've read, btw). Excellent photo.

Why does a space fighter have airbreathing turbine engines?

Chairboy · « **Reply #43 on:** February 15, 2008, 11:03:32 AM »

Because it's not just a space fighter, it's an atmospheric one too with ground to orbit capability.
