During hostile action in Iraq, a Marine is hit and wounded and this brave Marine comes to his aid while taking hostile fire. Courtesy of:Steve Robinson


A second Marine comes to the rescue and is struck by an enemy round. Courtesy of: Steve Robinson


In the attempt to evacuate the wounded Marine, the Marine to the left is fatally struck again by enemy fire and falls to the ground. Courtesy of: Steve Robinson


This sad photo shows two of our brave brothers lying motionless on the ground. The Marine on the right will survive, but sadly the Marine on the left who came to rescue his fellow Marine would not survive. Courtesy of: Steve Robinson

1. You said it all in the last sentence..... n/t

[DistressedAmerican]

2. Amazing Sequence! We Are Not Getting The Truth On This War!

Thank you for this bit. Nominated!

[leftchick]

3. for neo-con wet dreams

of ME dominance and OIL.

:(

[ClintonTyree]

7. And don't forget....

it's bush's grudge match with Saddam that got us into this mess. It was a big, Oedipal pissing contest with his Daddy that was one of the main reasons for this "conflict".

[OrlandoGator]

4. And Congress is debating flag burning.

I think this miscalculation (flag burning amendment) is going to bite them in the ass harder than Terry Schiavo did.

[Bluebear]

5. And Bush again lectures about gays marrying. n/t

[B Calm]

6. It is hard to say this, but soldiers are dying in VAIN. If only

young republicans would enlist and give our soldiers in harms way a much needed R&R....

[Oversea Visitor]

8. So that

the gaint ... THE people of the United States will wake up
and say they will never put their children in harm way for a lie even again

WAKE UP SUPPORT THE TROOPS
Send those criminals all to jail

[acmavm]

9. Pictures like this are what we need to reach the hard core supporters.

It wasn't until pictures like this came out that those who were denying the reality of Viet Nam had to face the facts.

How can we get this shoved in the face of every purple band-aid wearing old wench and her equally ignorant testosterone powered war mongering significant other in this country who thinks bush** is anything but the AWOL lying coward that he is?

[spooked]

11. I like your sentiments!

Yes, how CAN we get this out there!?

[acmavm]

12. I suppose that we (by we I mean the little guys, you and I) are going to

have to do it.

I remember when the media had the integrity to show the pictures of the My Lai massacre victims in the ditch, the little girl who had been sprayed with napalm running naked down the road, the Vietnamese army officer executing the young Viet Cong male by shooting him point blank in the head. These pictures, the reality of these pictures, the undeniability of these pictures, shocked many people into realizing what we were doing over there. And what we had become.

10. you'll never see those in the MSM

A big fuck you to our "free press"

[DistressedAmerican]

13. I Used The Shots For This Anti-War Gif Animation (Hope You Don't Mind).

Spread it and use it if you can!

[Pool Hall Ace]

14. These shots should be intermingled with Bush joking

about not being able to find WMDs, and the press laughing.

[DistressedAmerican]

17. I Should Work On Something Along Those Lines!

Need to look for some quotes!

[alpizzy]

20. Daily show had a good sequence...

it was either last night or the night before.
Press conference where reporter asked if Bush agreed
with Cheney that the insurgency was in it's last throes....
Bush smiling and giggly throughout question & response.
:grr:

[Kingshakabobo]

18. Nice job as usual. Small correction.

I believe the first Marine is not fatally wounded though.

edit: I agree with Pool Hall Ace. That would really make the point well.

[spooked]

19. Thank you for doing that!

Yes, try to spread The Truth about this War!

[DistressedAmerican]

22. Thank YOU For Making The Shots Available!

We are all in this thing together. It is our country that is burning right alongside theirs!

[MetaTrope]

15. So our troops can't dodge hails of gunfire like in Hollywood movies?

Well knock me over with a feather.

[Saphire]

16. And somewhere in this country, one mother is grieving, and one

mother is grateful.

[newyawker99]

23. Hi lady of texas!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ms liberty]

21. I agree, add shots of the idiot joking, also if possible...

perhaps just a shot at the end with the idiot's "where are those pesky wmd's" performance - just to reinforce, visually, the reason he said he was going.

[spanone]

24. O I L

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Is bu$h** grieving for this Marine? n/t

[spooked]

26. Has he attended one soldier's funeral yet?

I've done google searches, but have yet to find one instance.

[roguevalley]

27. I never hated someone or something so much as I hate bush, his

minions and the Republican party. I even hate the 'good' republicans. I hate them more than the press.

[MisterP]

28. "I think about Iraq every day! Every day!"

[DistressedAmerican]

29. Kicker!
