The fact is this is one of the most inspirational photos of the Vietnam warthe fact that the General (or whatever rank he was) was in the South Vietnam Army and allied with the Americans committing this atrocity. Unfortunate as it is and as sad and sickening as it is we do need to be reminded from time to time that sometimes the values we hold so dear are often being flaunted in the name of Politics and War. We also need to find the funny side of things to remind us that we are human and we cannot live in fear of dreadful things happening to us - the anti-war movement seized this photo and practically rammed it down people's throat while at the time this was a wake up call theseday we don't need to be constantly reminded that bad things happen in war.

It's a picture of a dead man who hasn't hit the floor yet.I don't object to much on here, but corpses bring me very close.

I completely understand what you are sayingthis image has been used far too many time for some sick humour but b3ta has a sick humour element and well if you're easily offended there is the ignore button.
