Interesting photos from Iraq

[wookie294]

A Marine attempts to save his comrade during combat, but these photos show that he failed and died....

[madrchsod]

1. where did you find these pictures?

[wookie294]

2. An Italian website

Just surfing the net, I found them. You won't find these kind of photos on mainstream media.

[whatgives]

3. I don't think interesting is the best way to say this. n/t

[wookie294]

5. Probably so

You're right. I noticed America's 101st Chairborne Division has not yet enlisted to fight this war. If anybody has a Freeper account, you should post these photos there.

[whatgives]

15. Yep

[Clark2008]

29. I'm sorry to laugh after such horrifying pictures, but

the "101st Chairborne Division" is classic. :applause:

I'm going to start using that phrase.

33. All they would do...

is offer up their lame ass cyber prayers to the fallen soldiers and their families. For them, the cyber prayer is the get out of jail free card. It absolves them of all responsibility and keeps their souls spotless white and clean.

4. isnt it sad

so sad. just breaks the heart. i have seen it before

[Selatius]

6. I remember seeing these pictures several weeks ago

I think they both ended up dying in the end anyway, but I'm not sure. Or maybe the one who tried to do the saving died, while the other who was laying on the ground ended up living. I can't remember the specifics.

I wonder if it would've taken too much time to take off the wounded soldier's backpack. It must've been terribly heavy.

7. Can you believe?

that people voted to put our children here? That people say they think this is a way to spend resources, yet they themselves will make no sacrifice? What hell will they put another human through without thinking twice or imagining how bad it will be for the other? For hatred? For greed? For a goddamned motherfucking tax break?

It's murder in those photos: murder for oil. And people cheer this on, they think this is a good thing.

I will never understand warmongers. Ever.

11. good point

good point

[FreedomAngel82]

18. I don't get it either

:cry:

8. ...

9. "Interesting"?

Tragic, heartbreaking, disgusting, but the word "interesting" does not come to mind.

[wookie294]

12. You're right -- ''interesting'' is the wrong word

My bad!

[travisbailey]

10. thanks for sharing

thanks for sharing...

[texanwitch]

13. Sad pictures.

In the second photo it looks like a third Marine has been shot and is falling down.

[Bigmack]

14. How about "waste"...

waste of two damn fine brave men ..... for NOTHING!

In 5 years there'll still be a civil war in Iraq, or a divided Iraq, or a continued clusterfuck of some kind. And the deaths of these two fine young Marines will mean nothing.. just like the 58,000 lives wasted in Vietnam.

[Rex]

16. They've been sent to die for El Chimperor.

It's madness! War should be illegal!

[Blue Belle]

20. Turns out... this one is!!

:grr:

[ohtransplant]

17. The truth is

it's a national tragedy, a national outrage, a national disgrace.

Our MSM should be ashamed they're not reporting this to the American people. Where's the shame? Where's the sense of responsibility?

Do we support our troops? Hell Yes!

Do we support the lies that put our children in harms way? Hell No!

[Blue Belle]

19. Waaa?? Are we at war??

All I hear about is the Jackson trial...

:banghead:

[Supersedeas]

38. cleansed and polished by embedded journalists--Ken & Barbi model's

who stenograph and go golden with Iraqi elections moments, but disappear during moments like this one.

[lostnfound]

21. Rest in peace.

Damn war.

[Solly Mack]

22. I remember when that happened

[jayctravis]

23. Fucking dying on rainy concrete.

Has anyone thought of mailing these images to the White House? Or would that trip off some sort of Homeland Security thing?

[babylonsister]

36. The wh obviously doesn't

give a shit. And it's all going swimmingly, doncha know?:sarcasm:

[Daphne08]

24. So sad.

I have two sons and this just makes my heart weep. :cry:

[ngGale]

25. The reality of war hurts and...

and people need to see these pics. One thing about Vietnam, we had this on the news every night. I remember one mother seeing her son during the news. This is why they are kept from us, the reality is heart breaking. It also causes anti-war feelings.

[DrDebug]

26. It's the ugliness of war

Horrible pictures. It speak for itself. Recommended. Just look at them.

[Disturbed]

27. Corporate Media is complicit with the Bush Regime.

War Criminals don't catapult their crimes.

[DrDebug]

28. Indeed.

And this only one picture. There are so many more.

They had no problems whatsoever with showing the 9/11 footage time and time again in the build-up of the war. And now it's all quiet on the Middle-Eastern Front. According to the press that is...

[Warren DeMontague]

30. Ugh.

That's somebody's child. Maybe somebody's father. Someone's husband, brother, best friend.


Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.


Rest in peace.

What the hell are we doing over there?

[baldguy]

31. These men were murdered.

George W Bush murdered them.

[Paradise]

32. i think this is the website...

http://www.corriere.it/ (in italian)

http://www.corriere.it/english/ (in english)

[Ripley]

35. When did this happen and where?

Can't someone please show these on TV. I swear it would change many people's minds if they saw this.

RIP guys.

[Guitarman]

37. I have yet to see one thing...

good come out of this war to justify the sacrifice of American blood that is pictured here.

This is why you do not go to war unless it is the absolute last resort.

[Goldeneye]

39. At the risk of sounding insensitive and stupid:

Is it possible the guy on the ground in the third picture is the man who is falling down in the second picture?

[JPZenger]

40. They were both wounded, not killed

42. umm, it says that the 1st one was "fatally wounded".

[Hubert Flottz]

41. That's Bush's "Morals" and "Family Values" that the fools who...

voted for him wanted more of!

[Coexist]

43. why are we wasting American lives like this?

[katinmn]

46. because Americans are too lazy to think for themselves

[Neshanic]

44. Snapshots from the end of the American Empire...

God have mercy on those men.

We had a lesson in Vietnam, we chose to ignore it.

[katinmn]

45. you would never see this on our sanitized newz

Fuckers. The media is as guilty as Bush.
:grr:
