re: #459 Gus 802

How is that propaganda? Tyler Hicks was the embedded photographer and more than likely this photo would have to be cleared by command. The specific caption reads:

Company K, accompanied by an Afghan army platoon, set down in three landing zones to gain a foothold in territory long under insurgent control. Here, an Afghan villager, who was not detained, was confronted at the first compound that the Marines seized.

I agree. It’s not propaganda and there’s nothing wrong with that photo. It was taken by a photographer embedded with the US military. It’s a factual portrayal of an event.
