Description
Dedicated to Syyd and Brandi
"chaos, destruction
on foreign lands.
many have fallen,
hundreds left behind.
what is the purpose?
the meaning of it all?
why must i die
for the sake of mankind?"

god the pain in that picture, hard to imagine the hell that would produce an image like this one. it makes some excellent Art though.
Brandi
Riko, my dear, sweet, talented friend! Again, you bring tears to my eyes... your amazing artwork tells the story of so many men/women/children and such horror and bravery. I am so glad to know you and so glad that my comments and conversations with you can touch you as much as your magnificent work has touched me. Thank you, Riko! Much love to you! XOXO

A very powerful image, brings all sorts of thoughts to mind, and sadness for the futility of it all. The way people have to suffer at the hands of their fellow men.

Holy. Wow... compelling to say the least man. Reminded me of a scene in a graphic novel printed by Kitchen Sink. Yet completely different. Awesome!

Well constructed collage Riko. I knew a Captain in the Army that commanded a unit during the Vietnam war. His unit was ordered to "draw enemy fire" near Dak To so Air Cavalry could come in and engage the elusive enemy. He never forgave his leadership when his unit was over-run. Can't say that I blame him. Thank you for reminding me of a hero who is not with us anymore.

Syyd
Im afraid I feel like Brandi, with tears, this is a brilliant piece of work, a poignant and painful reminder of human suffering. Riko, thank you so for including me in this dedication. It touches me on a very deep note.
Swannie
Great work!!! Great words?? I dunno...aren't we all pawns send on a mission? Following orders even if we think it's wrong, but still do it!! Wish there was more action after listening to what we think is right while listening to our hearts!! Salute to all brave men and women. Johnnie...
kromekat
its all been said mate! - powerful stuff, amazing how a 2D picture can create a soundtrack of gunfire, radio, choppers and screams in ones head isn't it!?
Xena

alessio72
powerful image riko!my compliments!!you are great! WAR SUXX
dukduk
i must say, this is an extremely powerful piece of art riko!!! his is so expressive of the pain and suffering, confusion and anger that were suffered by the soldiers and citizens who lived and fought on that delta... However, I must disagree with alessio, war does not in itself suck...it is a sometimes necessary evil...the problem is that 'Nam was never considered a war...just a black hole that sucked in the lives of so many of our precious youth...
kellj
this image speaks volumes...the futility of war... the text conjures the images of young soldiers so brave but also unprepared and nieve...two thumbs up riko...very thought provoking.
