Oh my gosh how scary to think about the advancements of military technology. We are advancing in technology in every aspect, most of it being beneficial. But not many people stop to think about how weapons of destruction are advancing. Fighting in the war is becoming more and more dangerous for soldiers. I have heard about IED’s in the past but was unaware of just how much damage and destruction they can cause. Very informative post, nice work.
