I remember there was always an argument about Vietnam being a "War" or a "Police Action." When we got around to the First Gulf War, to folks at home, it somehow did not seem like a real war. Too clean. No gripping photographs. Sanitized. Even the rockets over Baghdad looked remote as we heard CNN reports over cell phones. I'm sure, to the children in your photo, and to those in Nam and at the Gulf, there was never any question about it not being a war. The troops did their duty, and the children who lived grew up. This Forum is for Photography. Where are today's compelling photographs?
