    Join the U.S. Special Forces and see the World! Or stay at home and just have a lazy look at TFB’s Photo Of The Day and share the experience from the Latvian Zemessardze and the US Army Special Forces in these pictures.

    Above we have a Heckler & Koch G36 in the hands of a Latvian Zemessardze. The Zemessardze is an all-volunteer force charged with protecting the Latvian homeland. Some of their units are mentored by U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers.
