Re: THE Photograph

One of the most disturbing and remarkable photos, already familiar to me from my elementary school books. She's an admirably strong woman, I guess many who've gone thru something as traumatic as she wouldn't be able to feature later in publicity.

Re: THE Photograph

well photographers are the scum of earth usually ... some less scummy decide they did wrong by not helping rather taking pictures and kill themselves.
Been a photographer for a while now. Ethically it was against journalism standards to involve yourself in the story...Kevin Carter changed that all when he killed himself!

Re: THE Photograph

Firstly, let me say that I admire this ladies determination and am pleased to see she is so well.

BUT.....

I find things like this somewhat bizarre.

To purposely harm a group of people then make big news about being benevolent to one of them just doesn't add up.

What about the hundreds maybe thousands of Napalm victims who bravely fought their injuries, survived, married had a family and raised them all --- without the hugely publicised "mercy" flight and then "first world" medical treatment, given compensation and allowed to change nationality, money and housing provided and paraded as a trophy by the nation that inflicted the damage.

Are not the ones we never see who fight on without the benefits of high end medi-care, who rebuild the old community the real heros?
