Flight of Refugees Across Wrecked Bridge in Korea Flight of Refugees Across Wrecked Bridge in Korea is a Pulitzer Prize - winning photograph by Associated Press photographer Max Desfor , taken on December 4 , 1950 , at a destroyed bridge over the Taedong River near Pyongyang , North Korea . Desfor was covering the Korean War at the time . Background . During the Korean War , the Battle of Inchon turned the tide against the Korean People ' s Army ( NKPA ) for the Americans who were fighting under the United Nations Command . The U . S . Eighth Army , which made up most of the United Nations forces , then raced to the Chinese border but were defeated in the Battle of the Ch ' ongch ' on River after the entry of large numbers of Chinese troops on the North Korean side . United Nations forces were sent in retreat back down the Korean peninsula , and the retreat was the longest in U . S . military history . Taking the photo . Max Desfor ( born November 8 , 1913 ) , a photographer for the Associated Press , was travelling with the front line troops and even took part in a parachute jump with the 187th Infantry Regiment . After American troops started fleeing south , Desfor was able to commandeer a jeep with two other reporters and an army signal corpsman headed south . They crossed the Taedong River at a United Nations pontoon bridge . While driving along the river ' s southern shore they observed Korean refugees crossing the river on foot where it was iced over , and using small boats where the river was open . Further down the southern shore they came across a destroyed bridge where they saw thousands of Koreans trying to cross the shattered girders of the bridge . It was December 4 , 1950 , at the beginning of winter and Desfor had trouble working his camera because of the freezing temperatures . Desfor ' s 2010 visit to Korea . In June 2010 , Desfor returned to Korea for the 60th anniversary of the war and he shared some of his thoughts . " I ask anyone who ' ll listen - - why do they celebrate the start of the war ? They celebrate the start , of course , because it ' s never ending - - it ' s still going on . " Desfor also talked about his time on the front line with the troops and , while proud of his Pulitzer Prize - winning photograph , believes that he took better photos during the war . Regarding the war itself he says , " The Korean War is labelled ' the Forgotten War ' , and the main reason is [ American GIs ] never got a parade when they got back , they never got relief , they never were cited for their effort for the work that was done . They were just completely forgotten . "
Slogans of the United States Army Slogans of the United States Army changed only rarely in the 20th century , but have been replaced more frequently in the 2000s . 2006 to present . " Army Strong " is the recruiting slogan that is used currently by the United States Army . The composer of the song used in the Army Strong television commercials is Mark Isham . 2001 to 2006 . " Army of One " was a relatively short - lived recruiting slogan . It replaced the popular " Be All You Can Be " and was replaced in 2006 by the new slogan " Army Strong " . The reason for the replacement is believed to be that the slogan " Army of One " is contrary to the idea of teamwork . It is unknown whether this slogan was taken directly from the poster for the 1976 Clint Eastwood film " The Outlaw Josey Wales , " which had " An Army of One " under a drawing of the Josey Wales character . The " One " in the slogan was an acronym , standing for Officers , Non - Commissioned , and Enlisted , the three types of Soldiers in the US Army . 1980 to 2001 . Be All ( That ) You Can Be was the recruiting slogan of the United States Army for over twenty years . This popular slogan was created by E . N . J . Carter while at the advertising firm N . W . Ayer & Son . He was awarded the Outstanding Civilian Service Award for his efforts . In his autobiography " Soul of It All " , Michael Bolton claims to have sung the jingle in the early 1980s . 1971 to 1980 . " Today ' s Army Wants to Join You " was a recruiting slogan from the 1971 Volunteer Army ( Project VOLAR ) campaign , which was introduced as the country prepared to transition to an all - volunteer military . When N . W . Ayer & Son , who were engaged by the US Army , believed they felt the army said " Today ' s Army is changing ; we want to meet you half way " , the firm came up with that slogan . General William Westmoreland asked " Do we have to ask it that way ? " but agreed to the campaign . The slogan was replaced by " Join the People Who ' ve Joined the Army " in 1973 , which later evolved into " This is the Army . " Slogan was written in 1971 by Ted Regan Jr . , Executive Vice President and Executive Creative Director of N . W . Ayer , the Army ' s ad agency . Regan also wrote the follow up slogan , " Join the people who ' ve joined the Army . " Circa 1950s – 1971 . " Look Sharp , Be Sharp , Go Army ! " was a recruiting slogan in the 1950s and 1960s . The Big Picture , public announcements on broadcast television , and highway roadway signs advertised the this slogan during a time of a national draft of young men 18 to 34 years of age . The advantage of volunteering for Service , vice being drafted , was choosing the career field you wanted to serve and / or first unit or location of assignment . World War I . " I Want YOU for US Army " featured on a poster of Uncle Sam painted by James Montgomery Flagg .
Greater Wrath The Greater Wrath ( ) is a term used in Finnish history for the Russian invasion and subsequent military occupation of Finland , then part of the Swedish Realm , from 1714 until the treaty of Nystad 1721 , which ended the Great Northern War , although sometimes the term is used to denote all of the Great Northern War . Background . Finland was left largely to fend for itself after the disaster of Poltava in 1709 . Russia captured Viborg ( ( Vyborg ) , ) in 1710 and already in 1712 started first campaign to capture Finland which ended in failure . More organized campaign starting in 1713 managed to capture Helsinki / Helsingfors and drive defending Swedes away from the coast . The Swedish army in Finland was defeated in Storkyro ( Isokyrö ) in February 1714 where Russians won a decisive victory . Swedish efforts to hinder Russian advance by blockading the coastal sea route at Hangö ended in failure in late July in battle of Gangut . Presence of Russian galley fleet in the Gulf of Bothnia forced in the end both Swedish fleet and army to largely abandon Finland already in late 1714 . Even the Swedish areas on the western side of the Gulf of Bothnia was ravaged by the Russians . The city of Umeå was burned to the ground by the Russians on 18 September 1714 , and after struggling to rebuild was razed again in 1719 , 1720 , and 1721 . Russian occupation of Finland . After the victory at Storkyro , Mikhail Golitsyn was appointed the governor of Finland . Finns began waging partisan warfare against the Russians . As retaliation , the Finnish peasants were forced to pay large contributions to the occupying Russians ( as was the custom in that time ) . Plundering was widespread , especially in Ostrobothnia and in communities near the major roads . Churches were looted , Isokyrö was burned to the ground . A scorched earth zone several hundred kilometers wide was burned to hinder Swedish counteroffensives . At least 5 , 000 Finns were killed and some 10 , 000 taken away as slaves , of whom only a few thousand would ever return ; According to newer research the amount of those killed is much larger . Thousands , especially officials , also fled to the ( relative ) safety of Sweden . The poorer peasants hid in the woods to avoid the ravages of the occupiers and their press - gangs . Atrocities were at their worst between 1714 – 17 when the infamous Swedish Count Gustaf Otto Douglas , who had defected to the Russian side during the war , was in charge of the occupation . In addition to the predations of the Russian occupants , Finland was struck – as were most other Baltic countries at the time – by the plague . In Helsinki , 1 , 185 people died : nearly two thirds of the population . Plague had struck Finland already before the Russian invasion sapping the strength of Sweden in Finland . Consequences . It took several decades for the Finnish population and economy to recover after the peace in 1721 , at which point Finland was scourged again during the Lesser Wrath , although less devastating .
Late Hōjō clan The clan is traditionally reckoned to be started by Ise Shinkurō , who came from a branch of the prestigious Ise clan , a family in the direct employment of the Ashikaga Shoguns . During the succession crisis in the 15th century , Shinkuro became associated with the Imagawa clan via the marriage of his sister to the Imagawa head , who led an army to Kyoto . Through this relationship Shinkuro quickly established a base of power in Kanto . His son wanted his lineage to have a more illustrious name , and chose Hōjō , after the line of regents of the Kamakura shogunate , to which his wife also belonged . So he became Hōjō Ujitsuna , and his father , Ise Shinkurō , was posthumously renamed Hōjō Sōun . The Late Hōjō , sometimes known as the Odawara Hōjō after their home castle of Odawara in Sagami Province , were not related to the earlier Hōjō clan . Their power rivaled that of the Tokugawa clan , but eventually Toyotomi Hideyoshi eradicated the power of the Hōjō in the Siege of Odawara ( 1590 ) , banishing Hōjō Ujinao and his wife Toku Hime ( a daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu ) to Mount Kōya , where Ujinao died in 1591 . The heads of the Late Hōjō clan were Continuation . In 2013 the Hojo clan was continuted by a Japanese man who changed his name to Hojo Ujikaito and turned the clan in to a social group supporting Imperial and Japanese power ideas . In September 2013 the Hojo clan marched in Tokyo while praising Bishamonten and burning pictures of white celebrities .
IMBEL MD The IMBEL MD series ( MD - 1 , MD - 2 , MD - 3 and the recent MD - 4 ) of assault rifle s are the standard - issue rifles of the Brazilian Army . History . These rifles are manufactured by IMBEL ( " Indústria de Material Bélico do Brasil " ) and are based on the 7 . 62mm NATO FN FAL , which was previously manufactured by IMBEL for many years under licence as the Brazilian Army ' s standard service rifle . In following the trend to adopt the 5 . 56x45mm NATO round , IMBEL started experimenting with 5 . 56mm versions of the FN FAL in the early 1980s . The first prototype , the MD - 1 , appeared in around 1983 . Further development resulted in the MD - 2 and MD - 3 series , which still closely resemble their FAL parent . Design . The MD - 2 and MD - 3 rifles are the result of redesigning the FN FAL to use the 5 . 56x45mm NATO round in place of the FAL ' s 7 . 62mm NATO chambering . The MD - 2 / MD - 3 series externally resembles a short - barrelled FAL , but with an M16 magazine . Early MD - 1 prototypes retained the FAL - type tilting bolt with a locking shoulder immediately behind the magazine well . This was not found to work well with the 5 . 56mm round , so subsequent prototypes and the final design incorporated an M16 - type 7 - lug rotating bolt into the design . The FAL ' s short - stroke gas piston , which is actuated by gas bled from the barrel via a vent located in the foresight housing , and which impinges upon the separate bolt carrier , is retained . Feeding is from STANAG 4179 M16 - compatible magazines . The versions differ in that the MD - 2 uses the side - folding buttstock from the FN FAL ' para ' variant , while the MD - 3 uses the fixed polymer stock of the standard FAL . The MD - 2 series contains many FAL - derived parts , some of which remain interchangeable with the original FAL , and others which are modified to suit the new design .
French submarine Gymnote ( S655 ) " Gymnote " ( S655 ) was an experimental submarine of the French Navy . She was a trials submarine for Submarine - launched ballistic missile s and powered by diesel electric engines . She is named in honour of the " Gymnote " , the world ' s first all - electric submarine built in France in the late 19th century . The French planned a nuclear propelled submarine in the late 1950s and laid down a hull ( no Q244 ) . Because France had not developed uranium enrichment facilities at the time , the planned power plant was to be a heavy water reactor , which could utilize natural uranium . But French engineers were unable to produce a reactor small enough to fit into the submarine , which led to the project being canceled in 1959 . In the early 1960s the French government decided to develop an independent nuclear deterrent based on SLBM ' s . Hull Q244 was redesigned as a trials submarine with four missile tubes in an extended casing . The " Gymnote " was commissioned in 1966 and fired the first M - 1 Missile in 1968 . The M - 1 Missile was subsequently deployed aboard the " Redoutable " class submarine s . She was extensively rebuilt in 1977 - 79 to enable trials of the new M - 4 Missile . The " Gymnote " was decommissioned in 1986 .
