You're message thus seems rather foolish.
Even the photo you speak of doesn't seem much in the way of propoganda. I think it captures the lonelyness and the weariness of war.
This photo is propaganda for the war. It's emBEDed journalism. Where are the photos like Nick Ut who took a photo that showed the atrocities of war rather than the glory of the invader? Would Mr. Sinco snap photos of Lt. Pike's hard day after spraying pepper? If Mr. Sinco really cared about teaching truth and journalism to our youth he would let them know about the growth of military censorship.
I dare Mr. Sinco to reply. I wonder if he knows that he's a puppet?
