A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets, ranging from combatants to vehicles and tanks, as they pass over or near it. Such a device is typically detonated automatically by way of pressure when a target steps on it or drives over it, though other detonation mechanisms are also sometimes used. A land mine may cause damage by direct blast effect, by fragments that are thrown by the blast, or by both.
The name originates from the ancient practice of military mining, where tunnels were dug under enemy fortifications or troop formations by sappers. These killing tunnels ("mines") were at first collapsed to destroy targets located above, but they were later filled with explosives and detonated in order to cause even greater devastation.
Nowadays, in common parlance, land mines generally refer to devices specifically manufactured as anti-personnel or anti-vehicle weapons. Though many types of improvised explosive devices ("IEDs") can technically be classified as land mines, the term land mine is typically reserved for manufactured devices designed to be used by recognized military services, whereas IED is used for makeshift devices assembled by paramilitary, insurgent, or terrorist groups.

**WARNING THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC FIELD MEDICAL PROCEDURES** This is the full video of the ISAF soldier who is gravely injured when he steps on a landmine in Afghanistan. What is amazing are the US Army Soldiers who not only are also affected by the blast (one is knocked down and dazed) but they bounce right back up, and start giving this soldier first aid in the field that saves his life. Amazing medical care in the field is what this video portrays. Only 20 minutes after the incident the soldier is airlifted to a medical facility! The Soldeirs who rendered the aid are amazing and saved this ISAF members life. I can only Identify two of the three soldiers that give life saving aid to this Afghan soldier. SFC Metz with the 101st Airborne and I think Spc. (?) Harris (sorry if I got the ...

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to know where you are
There's smoke in my eyes
'Cause you're burning the ground
I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you are
Under cover of night
I put a pearl in the ground
Where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
I found your ring with the feather on
One arm in and one arm gone
Save this ring let's bring Paris right here
Oh, my dear
My love
Do you know, my love
Do you know
I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you've been
There's gauze over my eyes
But you're leaving this trail
I'm crawling through landmines
I know cause I planted them
Under cover of night
I put my heart in the ground
Oh where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
I found your glove with the leather torn
Five fingers that I'm counting on
Smoke signals to call you right here
Oh, my love
My dear
My love
