Wow. Incredible photos. Some of them very thought provoking and emotional.

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Distressing photos, but a good reminder to us all of what war does. I can't say I disagree with WW2 because of the very possible consequences if we didn't take a stand, but Vietnam? The current war in the middle East? Such loss.

Defence - it prevented world war quite nicely for nearly 50 years...

I purchased the Blu-Ray boxset as soon as it was released alittle while back, amazing viewing. Currently up to disc 4, Peleliu was absolute hell...
