So I came across this link when I was stumbling today. Please note that the pictures on this page are rather uncensored, and are pretty graphic, so, if you’re interested, check it out at The Real Face of War.
It raises an interesting point. Everyone knows it, but many people forget that the mainstream media doesn’t show us pictures of what’s actually going on during war (Iraq in this case). Furthermore, they don’t allow photographers when soldiers are coming home in body bags, or at funerals. The only way to find out what’s actually going on is to sign-up for a four year plan (military, in case it wasn’t clear). I suppose that could be part of the plan, but it’s disgusting.
Could we, as the public, stand up and voice our opinions? I’m tired of the apathy that this country is showing about war, about being lied to regularly by our elected officials, about being continually forced down the road, which eventually leads to a police state. Telecom immunity anyone?
