The Face of War
During the Vietnam War, the media was free to photograph and publish the horrific pictures of mangled GIs, bombed villages and dead Vietnamese women and children. That war was one of the most televised in the history of the USA. The bloody images on television and the printed media were one reason why the US public gradually turned against the war.
The following photograph titled, "The Face of War" captures what the Pentagon has hidden from the American people in the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are thousands of these photographs which the American people have not been allowed to see. Also, hundreds of photographs of tortured and sodomized Iraqi prisoners of war at the Abu Ghraib Prison have been censured by the Pentagon.
