War Photographs- Americans Pictured

This is a real-time post for the Hallerin Hilton Hill
Morning show. The issue is whether photos of
American soldiers wounded in war should be published.
Here is a link you will want to see in order to
make up your mind.

My personal opinion is as a general rule, no. But
photographs are a record of history. And ghastly
things happen in war- to both sides. You have to
answer the question of whether the photograph
says anything, tells a story, or whether it is just
a display of bloodshed.

Plus, you have to consider the high number of
personal cameras and recorders that are now
so portable they go to the fornt with the soldier.

Some of the most powerful war photos I have
seen in the past show not the dead or the
wounded, but the faces of the soldiers, sailors,
and airmen.

And…here is Hallerin and his no-so-macho shopping cart:

Cute, aint he ! I drop more grocieries on
the floor than this cart can hold.
