[Leica] reality according to the soldier's

[rsphotoimages at comcast.net (Bob Shaw)]

As an former US Marine (Vietnam-era), I knew immediately that we were 
in way over out heads when George ("I won the Trifecta!) Bush pushed 
the button for the invasion of Iraq.

Then man has never had and original thought, literally abandoned his 
military obligation, never suffered any consequences for his actions 
and now expects of to continue this travesty he calls "The War on 
Terror".

As a Marine ISO (photojournalist) guy, most of my (allowed) shots were 
in rear areas - very tame stuff.  I'm so sorry you had such an image to 
capture.  I'm even more sorry (having spent some time in combat) about 
the images you've seen during your tour there.

This federally-funded insanity has got to stop.

Sincere Regards,

Bob

Thanks George, for posting the article.
I took this photo in December, 2004 of a mass grave that my unit dug to 
bury
the bodies of several thousand Iraqis who were classified as collateral
casualties.  This was the "nicest" photo of death that I took out there.
