Iraq War- Witness

The Iraq war perpetuates an idea that the soldiers are serving their lives for the beauty of the Country and even the World. The media that we are shown today shows the public the scarifies that the soldiers are making, and the beauty in death for the country. The media shows the American Soldier as a heroic figure, and it is a one sided story, where the stories of the Iraqi civilians are dismissed and ignored. The picture that I found shows an American hero and Iraqi children following the America hero, as if he is protecting them from harm and suffering and they even look happy, even though he is carrying a gun. We are only witnessing the war from the American media, and we are not seeing the tragedies from the other side of the story.
