Photo of a US Marine in Afghanistan
« on: January 13, 2011, 04:14:48 PM »


This photo is on the cover of Time magazine in Europe. But for some reason not the USA. It really caught my eye. It's a US Marine carrying an injured child to a dustoff in Afghanistan. It's almost timeless, it could be Iwo Jima, Korea, Vietnam.

Thought you guys would appreciate it.

US Media doesn't care about anything other than ratings.

Not even close to accurate.

The US Media at large hate the military, and anything that makes our soldiers look good.

The U.S. doesn't care about Afganistan. 

After all, all the terrorists were in Iraq.

It is a good photo that shows that there are time in the battle field, a solider stops being a worrier and starts being human
:salute to the man and women who fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
