"Iraq is not like Viet Nam." You've all heard this by the apologists for the war. John Fogarty wrote this song a while back and it keeps going over and over in my head. I thought, "What would a pictorial comparison look like?" Having many images collected on my computer, I started putting together a compilation of them with the words from the song. I couldn't stop there so I put them to the music in a slide show video format. You can download it Here




The "precious child" is Joe Blickenstaff, KIA December 8, 2003, the brother of a friend of mine. The first and third "voice inside" pics are members of my VFP chapter and symbolize that "voice". The second "voice inside" pic just seemed to fit as another example of the pain felt by those who have "seen the elephant."
The picture of the veteran in the wheelchair in the shower is from an issue of Life magazine from May 22,1970, which I put up as a Diary, "Our Forgotten Wounded", a heartbreaking look at the state of the VA system back then.
I put this video on a DVD along with some others to show when I give a presentation to High Schools. The DVD is then given to the school for their library along with a CD containing counter recruitment materials and other articles and commentary about war and peace. It's what I do in my small way to try and help educated the students to the realities of today.
