Oh comon, tics on a tally sheet? Images of caskets being censored by the Bush Administration was one of those things that almost convinced me to take up photo journalism in order to get those pictures to the public. Instead of tallies on a sheet, I want people to understand the incredible and unacceptable cost of unjustifiable wars. I want them to see families grieving for fallen heroes. I want the truth of the war shoved down the throats of and callous and ignorant war supporters. I don't want any of the 4,659 coalition lives lost in Iraq or 1,374 coalition lives lost in Afghanistan to be forgotten or in vein. Those are men and women that sacrificed their lives.
You may not remember, but several of my best friends are in the military.
