Those photos from that article are truly powerful. It's a shame that media coverage of war isn't more like that. It is brutal and disgusting, and if you are going to support it, at least look it in the face. I'm not convinced that remote war will ever be a good thing, however. It is still fundamentally about controlling people and territory, and that comes as the cost of human lives, both civilian and enlisted.

Reminds me of reading a story about the first uncensored photographs of the aftermath of Civil War battles hitting the North. Often just a few days after the fighting. It removed some of the "charm" of war for the people who saw the results that they never really heard about.
