If Iwo Jima Happened Today

A tribute to the Marines and a slap on the modern media.

So great. I had tears in my eyes...

In my history book, there was a picture of a soldier (a Marine, I think) sitting on a fallen tree, surrounded by fallen trees with his head in his hands.

I wondered what that man was really feeling. The immediate idea behind the image was that the man was distressed. I wondered, though, if he was just tired as hell from a long day of fighting and needed a cup of joe.
