Millinium Photo

This photo is of a Marine who witnessed the breaking and the pulling down of a statue of Iraq’s president. I really like this photo. Some people around the United States disagree with America going into Iraq and fighting. But they killed many of us when they brought down the world trade towers. They killed innocent people. After, George W. Bush led us into Iraq. We fought and some died. We made gradual gains and had bases in the Middle East. We were making grounds. But then, President Obama came in and brought our troops out of the Middle East. For the families with loved ones across seas, they were now home and overjoyed. But we just pulled out. Many of our bases that men and women fought and died for were overtaken by our enemy. So does that mean they just died for nothing? They shed their blood for the enemy just to come in and take them again. This is absurd, especially since the Middle Eastern countries still despise America. And now America gave our enemy material for a nuclear bomb. First of all, why would the US dare to give the very people that kind of stuff if they almost WANT a war with us? My cousin was stationed in the Middle East and he is not happy at all. So that statue that we tore down in Iraq was for nothing. When I see this photo, I am overjoyed that we did this because it had so many good purposes. It HAD. Now, this has no purpose. Most of the photos on the website were of people helping other people. This photo definitely qualified, but now, the photo represents all the horror we put our protectors through for no reason.

  1. The efforts of our soldiers feel wasted, huh? :( If only those statues could be kept down and not simply replaced by new ones.

  2. I remember when this actually happened. I was in high school. Seems like there's no such thing as "winning" a war these days, at least not like it felt with WW2.
