re: #468 Mosh

Still, the New York Times couldn’t have picked a more flattering photo. Maybe US troops in their Humvees waving to grateful Afghans or troops loading up their guns before they march valiantly into battle.

War isn’t supposed to be flattering. That used to be done by Army photographers in WWII from time to time. I see nothing wrong with this photograph and it conveys a feeling of “danger in the night.” The article itself is positive.
