The Hidden Face of the War
« on: September 16, 2007, 08:51:45 PM »
Today's technology gives the media the opportunity to us what the war really looks like.

Yet, the horrors and pains never makes it into the newscasts, all we get to see are numbers.

Here's a clip from the reality of the war:



It's horrible, painful to watch, but it's also real, and important that it's not hidden from us.

realities of life man. people should see this. It is disturbing to look at but there should be no reason to hide it

It's the censoring of what's going on in the war that pisses me off.

The casualities every day, the war amputees, wheelchairs, et al.

Somehow, we're lead to believe that the war is a clean war, with predominantly male, "terrorist" casualities.

That's wrong.

It is terrible and that clip was very well made,I think the sad thing is how quickly you get used to it though when you are in it.
