I am deeply distrustful of the media, in general. But I found this today, and the photos are quite profound and, IMO, respectfully done. Even if their intention is to focus on war dead instead of the gains won and people helped, I think it may well backfire: the overwhelming impression I get is of sacrifice and several fine Marines doing a hard duty in an exemplary manner. Opinions?
