The Washington Post yesterday had story and photos by one of its shooters who spent time with a patrol in combat and they are vastly better than this but, for some reason, the major media seem to prefer shots of generals standing in front of podiums. Couldn't have anything to do with fear that showing real combat will turn support for the war, of course, so there must be some other reason. Maybe I'm just a bad judge of news value and shots of generals in front of podiums are really what matter. go figure c trentelman In a message dated 11/16/04 6:38:56 AM, lug-request@leica-users.org writes: > > > For those of us too young to live through WWII, Korean War, or even the > Vietnam War, what do y''all think of this photo? > > http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/11/15/marine.photo.ap/index.html > >
