One of our friends in the Italian military sent us this striking of two Italian military personnel, apparently from the “unofficial” TF 45, showing two men helping their wounded comrade (apparently to CASEVAC). Our understanding was the picture was taken somewhere in the region of Shahr-E-Herat, Afghanistan. There’s no way to be sure and it wouldn’t be appropriate to go into too many details anyway. (We wouldn’t even be posting the picture itself if it wasn’t already circulating on Facebook.) They may by Gruppo Intervento Speciale of the Carbinieri. We’re not sure and there’s no way to know for sure. Here’s one thing that’s certain: we appreciate their help in the Coalition and we hope the WIA in the center recovers fully.
Forza e onore!
