Robert Gates went nuts at the AP for posting this picture of a wounded marine in Afghanistan who later died of his wounds. I deeply feel for him and his family, however seeing this really brings the war home. Maybe we should see some of this every once in a while to put everything in perspective. There's a big difference between talking about casualty statistics and seeing them. It's not chess, it's human lives.

(For the record, I am not making an argument for or against the war in Afghanistan).

  the soldier's family did not give anyone permission to publish that photgraph, and I am sure having their beloved son's dying moments plastered all over newspapers is horrifying. the AP posted this for sensationalistic purposes, and not to drive home the human factor of war. people know full well young people are dying over there and don't see them as numbers on a page.

  For the record A marine is not a soldier, its a common mistake and I am sure everyone gets your point! About the picture, do we need to see the hanging corpse of a victim of the KKK to know that racism is bad? War is not fun, I know from first hand experience its ugliness, and the dying do not need their last moments sensationalized to prove its ugliness!

  really? i didn't realize that. my apologies.
  
  as far as anyone thinking this dying man's last moments should be plastered all over the world as an object lesson of the realities of war, would you want your son's picture in the paper? what about your own?
  
  it is the worst invasion of privacy imaginable, sensationalistic and cruel to boot, and dishonors this young man. it was bad enough that he was photographed at all as his blood poured from his body, but to then take those photos to the AP and have some editor say 'run with it!' is shameful.

I understand the outrage as well, and I would be equally upset if I were his family. At the least they should have blurred the face and concealed the name.

However, I think sometimes politicians and others speak of war so casually that they don't consider what it really means. Things like this remind us that if we are at war, there better be a damn good reason.

  What is the "right" way to show people about war? A John Wayne movie? I agree, they should have blurred the face and concealed the name, but war is reality. If we are willing to send our friends and loved ones to do what we WON'T, we should at least be able to face what is actually happening.

I think the marines are the toughest people on the planet. I would be one if a medical disability didn't keep me out. I have the utmost respect for all of America's armed forces, but that is not the point when I say that civilians should be exposed to the harsh realities of war. These people sacrifice so much for us, but I don't think that the average American really understands or appreciates it when they talk about sending troops and winning wars. Pictures like this show what they live through day in and day out, yet we can't even bear to see it for 5 seconds from a million miles away?

  I see - so if it was a dead English soldier I could have an opinion?
  
  And this is about him being an ex-American. I don't think you can claim allegiance after you are dead, but I might be wrong.
  
  And showing photos of dead soldiers is wrong because no one really dies during a war? And he deserves better now he is dead, but did not when he was alive?
  
  And it is not about money or oil - because no one fights over that - only "freedom?" Did I get all that?

  Do you even know about the situation in Zimbabwe? Who Robert Mugabe is? Pregnant women having babies cut out of their stomach? Death squads killing those that dont vote for Mugabe? The intentional starvation of half of their country? And most significantly, taking the farms of all white people, who have been driven out of the country? Mostly into South Africa or to the UK.
  
  Go and show me an American company that arranges trips for white people to provide aid in Zimbabwe. Mugabe would have them shot, he doesnt want aid.

  But what are you doing about the injustice around the world? I know America gives far more help than any other country on the planet, period. Our volunteers, charities, churches and our military all represent whats good about America. We sent food and supplies to countries who hate our guts when disaster strikes. We know no limit to our generosity and yet we still are blasted by the selfrighteous "friends" of ours. The British have been good allies and they are brave but there is an ugly side that is hell-bent on ruining that relationship.

It's okay if you have other ones just tell the ppl on here, show them respect and just freakin' tell them.

  Hi Crazdwriter, I would be happy for you to call me whatever names you want. Well, actually it would make me a little sad, bit at least I respect your honesty and integrity. It is much harder to take when somebody is hiding behind a completely false identity. This man has also called me a 'coward', actually the whole of Britain are 'cowards' apparently (many other ex-military Americans actually say that the British are amongst the worlds bravest warriors). My only issue is that I am being called a coward by somebody who is too cowardly to present himself with a real name and photo.
  
  If Mark Knowles or Misha was to call me a 'wanker' right now, I can take that on the chin and say fair enough Mark Knowles or Misha thinks that Im a wanker; I guess that I would have to respect their opinion. If A texan calls me a wanker right now, its somebody who feels the need to hide behind a fake avatar to attack people. That does not deserve any respect at all. Anonymous attacks are the most cowardice. And you would probably know that yourself after the other day

  hi crazd,
  
  actually, over the course of several weeks that guy has been allowed to spew hate, racism and bigoty, nightly, in the forums. daytime as well, under the cover of deceit. hubpages allows him to have his bully pulpit. as has been mentioned frequently, it is because of people like him that this place will be dragged so far into the gutter it may never recover. alter egos and dual personalities are fine, when they are handled in a manner such as frogdroppings, just to name one. they're upfront, out in the open, and anyone who's paying attention knows who they are. but at the opposite end of that spectrum we're forced to deal with the absurdities of racism, cloaked behind fakes who would never show their real name in public.
  
  the scorn and public ridicule directed his way is more than justified. it is more than deserved. hatred and racism are not games. they are the guiding light for the shallow minds without soul. there are those amongst us who will stand our ground against these pathetic losers,
  
  these problems can be easily addressed, and corrected, by management. for starters, if someone chooses to be a part of something, then make a contribution. i'm not talking about a contribution of lies, deceit, hatred, and racism.
