heartbreaking. really heartbreaking. and to think we've been in that country just about as long as the Soviets...it's something else.
Yeah, that last shot is brutal.
Those are some amazing photos, brutal.
Heroic, heart wrenching work. Even if the severely injured survive thru surgery at the NATO trauma hospitals in Afghanistan they face fighting staff infection from the filth of the bomb blasts. Some pass away later in Germany due to infection.
my boyfriend is out there fighting....n he is missing........please pray for him
Will keep him and you in my prayers.
