Description:

These are a few pictures depicting a soldier's perspective of recent experiences in Iraq. I'm not trying to take a position or spark a debate on the war or anything, I just want to share some of my most memorable images that show a bit of what it was like to be there.




Changelog:

Replaced download link image with one I liked more...
Please comment along with ratings.

Four pictures available including the download link. All in 1024 res.
This is not all about patriotism. That is not the purpose of this submission. It is the visceral aesthetics of these shots that made me want to put them out there. I've been told they should be published. Since this is likely the only publication they will ever see, please give them a chance based on their artistic merit. That's what I like about them.

unsure what to think ... I despise the patriotic elements ... hm... the pics are very intimate though; especially the last one with the hand-closeup.
Whatever I'm going to think about the whole thing sooner or later: Pics like these do not belong to a website dedicated for desktop styles. No offence.

You despise the patriotic elements? Since when has neutral pictures of soldiers been "patriotic"? And since when has patriotism been something bad? Anything in excess can be bad, but patriotism in moderation is a good quality.

If a mere picture of a soldier is going to offend your sensibilities, it's time to grow a thicker skin.

I think the last picture _could_ be interpreted as making a "V for Victory" in the sand. That's probably the bit which was interpreted as patriotic... but only because the submitter told us the backstory of the photos.

Here's an thought. If the submitter really thinks that these pictures stand on their own aesthetic qualities, perhaps putting them together and mentioning where they came from is a bad idea? Why would you have to tell people "don't think about them like this"? The third one, and arguably the first one as well, are hard to read into too much without the backstory, especially when viewed individually.

There is no backstory. The pictures were taken in Iraq. That's all I said. The soldiers were not in combat or any battles. I know. I was there. The hand was an Iraqi's, not an American's. He was showing the markings in the stone. It is not a V and not for victory. But believe what you want.
The resason I felt the need to explain the purpose of the pictures was in response to the first post. Just for clarification.

We need to learn to get alone. The World will be a very lonely place without each other.

I like the photos.

Regardless of how they got there or why they are there, these guys have seen more bravery, brotherhood and horror than any of us could imagine. Thanks for the shots...God Bless these guys. Oh NO...patriotism and God mentioned at one time. The sky will most certainly fall now.
