Since the pictures are clearly sourced with who owns or took the picture I am going to have to ask you to please source them as such. We get people who were not properly sourced contacting the mods and admins from time to time asking us to source properly or remove the content. In today's world of copy and paste, there is no reason or excuse not to. It really is as easy as copy and pasting. See example below. It only takes a few seconds. Besides people might be interested in reading the article associated with the picture, and not just seeing the picture. I really like your thread, so please keep it going.

Thanks

".... I don't know when that picture appeared in MDN, but the picture itself is not recent."

Thank you. I monitor contemporary military sites and Asian press for this thread and the photos (while dated) are used to illustrate a contemporary mission .... the mission(s) is the objective .... my intention, IOW.

The fact that there so many ignorant people in this country that actually believed that is mind boggling to me. Qanon is a pitiful joke.

No it is mind boggling because people are running around believing the Chinese are massing on the boarder.
