Ghosts of War

Very moving. [Read and view]

I'd like to see somebody use the same technique on these pictures, and then ask if it was worth it.

Young men, many were teenagers, who died in every conceivable manner. Those who returned convinced that they had forfeited their very souls. Those who left body parts on battlefields and those who were still finding an occasional piece of shrapnel surfacing from inside their bodies when they were eighty plus years old.

Today's elected/selected people in leadership positions are in the process of giving, and in many cases have already given, up the causes those youngsters so long ago sacrificed so much to attain. The price they paid has largely been forgotten. They were pawns to be sacrificed and then cast aside in order to win some trophy that has been allowed to gather dust on a shelf in a glassed in cabinet in the basement of a forgotten museum located somewhere in a forgotten town alongside other forgotten trophies.

Was it worth it?
