Soldier Caskets




My immediate reaction to this image

is one of sadness, and loss. After which a few moments of looking, I feel a slight urge to look away with a hint of annoyance. While I do feel this image definently for the most part conveys the quantity of loss involved with the Iraq war, which expresses a feeling of depression; My personel reaction to this feeling is of anger, as I am not one to support wars of any nature, especially ones as political as the war in Iraq and do have a "problem" with the image I am looking at. The image too, does communicate a message of honor, with all the caskets being lined so orderly and each respectfully carrying an american flag. However I feel there are better images from the war that communicate this idea better.
