In this official United States Army photograph taken by Specialist Theodore Schmidt, a Counter Improvised Explosive Device Team moves through a village to ensure a road known for high risk of improvised explosives is safe for travel in Pul-e Alam District, Logar province, Afghanistan, on Tuesday 29 June 2010.

Troopers of the Third Battalion, One Hundred and Eighty-Seventh Infantry Regiment, Third Brigade Combat Team "Rakkasans", part of the One Hundred and First Airborne Division "Screaming Eagles", search an area during an air assault operation, in the village of Omar Khel, Kushamond, in Afghanistan, on Saturday 03 July 2010.

For those of us who are veterans of the Viet Nam war, this sure brings back memories.

It's sort of like "deja vu all over again", huh?
