War Photographers Not Needed?

A fervent wish for any war photographer is unemployment, said Robert Capa, one of the world's best war photographers. But not like this. The Iraq war has been one of the most sanitized war ever (I just totally made this up, no citations my friends). You could hardly see any casualties at all from all the MSM. Zoriah Miller (it's not perezhilton.com) was practically fired and barred from the Marine Corps for publishing images of killed Marines. WTF? The Americans simply don't register the war in Iraq.

Picturing casualties. (images contain dead, wounded civilians and soldiers)

    I remember reading somewhere this war had the most troops killed by friendly fire.

    No citations either.

  2. Don't worry we are not writing wikipedia so that's just fine... Yeah, friendly fire is not at all friendly if you are on the receiving end of it.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
