looks like the guy's a crybaby.
You've obviously never volunteered to serve and protect others.  

One of the most powerful images from wartime out there.  This one happens to be from Korea.  I trust you are trying to be funny and doing it poorly, instead of just not having a clue.

He is plainly clueless.

It was a scene from "Die Brucke" filmed in 1959.

I thought as much.  Not that it isn't a powerful image.  It just looked fabricated to me.

No doubt...  Well, I work with images for a living and the deep depth of field looks wrong.  Compare it to the Koream War image somebody else posted and its very shallow depth of field.

I haven't even served, and even I found that a bit offensive.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

You'd have to be pretty brave to be able to cry.  Probably everyone wants to at some point.  The ones who don't have any emotional response to tragedy are the messed up ones.

I am not trying to be like Penguin or anything just pulling toejam out of my ass.  I have no experience in that field of work so far.  So tell me if I'm off base, haha.

I think you have a child there who's growing up way too fast.

I'd like to shoot at "bye-bye" until he cries. I figure a pellet gun should do the trick.  :t  :salute

Gentlemen, please just ignore byebye.

He trolled you guys hard with a small amount of stinky bait.

Guppy, that photo is just staggering with it's brutal honesty.

I've seen it before, but it's one of those pics that I didn't really look at closely (probably because I didn't want to be confronted by it). This morning I woke up and actually examined it for several minutes. I'm not ashamed to say that after trying to climb into the heads of the three men in the photo, I was deeply moved.

Looks like a scared kid to me.
