Seven years in America and i have never been to Dumbo. Main reason for that is because i live in Long Island, so the commute is very time consuming to go there (Also, because i don’t know how to get there in Subway :D).
It was my firs time and i did like the Experience. Well, I chose photos featuring Lynsey Addario OF LOVE AND WAR. I chose these specific photos because of the emotions and message it represents. As Americans, we will look at it and show how much we “care” about our soldiers by saying “Thank you for your Service”.
But, we should also think, that why are we putting our soldiers in these wars. Are we in it, because of the so called freedom, or we don’t know how to get out of Afghanistan now. The war which has been costing us billions/trillions along with the human cost. Do, we really need to be in it anymore? Folks, who make war decisions, needs to be questioned that our Military Budget is $700 Billion, still our veterans suicide. WHY?. Suicide of even one soldier related to economic or health issues exposes government’s hypocrisy. The pain in these photos should be felt, not just said in words.
Are soldiers just props to be used on political rally’s?
