GilbertDK was very active on various forums, including http://www.militaryphotos.net He was also a Danish tank driver in the Leopard 2's we have deployed in Afghanistan. A few days ago he was killed by an IED while driving the tank. Here's the thread about it: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=138572GilbertDK's brother uses the same login on the site and is also soldiering in Afghanistan. He has these comments on the thread: --- "My brother. He will be missed" "I am pretty sure my brother wouldn't be satisfied if he died in any other way, than behind the steeringwheel of his Leopard 2a5 Tank.. "Death before dismount" Ironicly, this was his saying.... And unfortunately, it became true" --- I salute Gilbert's family and my brave compatriots (as well as those of other nations) fighting the barbarians in Afghanistan.

S! Very sorry to hear this.
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people. Carl Sagan
