Subject: RE: BS: US Soldiers: Common Sense vs 'Mutiny'
Guest - You are right about the photojournalists but lets not forget the photos from the military personnel. Many rolls of film were smuggled out of Vietnam to be developed in the States. Unfortunately, many rolls were damaged by one means or another.

Military personnel have always taken photos - I still have my dad's World War II photos. We have seen the horrible prison torture photos of Iraqi prisoners so we know that it is possible to be informed by the soldiers themselves. Photojournalists may not be in the field but where are the photos that the military personnel usually send to us?

Do military personnel in Iraq have access to the internet? If so, I hope they will send us photos so that people in America learn how much their oil really costs.
