The phot effect but the byline does. It doesnt say why the or how the parents were shot however. Its not as bad as a pictire of say dea kids or say them actually looking at their dead parents, that would be upsetting. Nothing comes close to witnessing this in reality however. Its one of the reasons being a soldier is a shit job sometimes.

Pictures and descriptions like this never troubled me, but the ones that put a critical slant against soldiers who were only doing their job used to (and still do) make me sick. While on service once, The Guardian published a very critical and heart-string pulling article about British soldiers behavior near where we were stationed. Stuff like that really upsets soldiers. I think my mother's comment was "why don't the paper's just shoot the soldiers for them."Its one of the reasons being a soldier is a shit job sometimes.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.

Gah. Since each photo is different, each photo affects me differently.
The world is a harsh place, hardest on the littlest.

Re: How much do pictures like this effect you?
gah!
i have a kid about the age of the kids in the photo. these photos and stories always spark the paternal/protector bit/instinct inside me, and get me upset. i guess it's cause it's really easy to imagine the crying or dying children in the photos/stories as being me own.
so it is a connection on a very human level, at least for me... children are children and don't get the reasons why. so images like these make me feel for them. funny how kids can transcend national/political boundries or ideologies.

No image has ever effected me except when reading Alaster cooks book on America showing an image of a 1930's lynch mob hanging a young black lad. It is a haunting image which stayed in my mine for years.
The image above doesn't really effect me. I feel for the boy but thats about it.
