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. ------------- Generic forum signature |

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