It could be assumed, I suppose, that a lot of people are unaware of the fact that the Rosenthal photo is of the raising of a replacement flag, but that in no way justifies use of the terms "staged" and "choreographed". It wasn't. It was as spontaneous as the first flag-raising was.

Being educated does not insulate a person from being mistaken, which you have demonstrated here today. All I'm asking is that you get it right next time.

If you want to read about this in detail, I recommend "Flags of Our Fathers" by James Bradley, and "Immortal Images" by Tedd Thomey.
