***The protesters objected to the show's content and what they claimed was the museum's "implicit support of war." They said a more balanced show would include images of civilian deaths and mass destruction. To represent one facet of military life in combat zones without placing it in the context of the true costs of war displayed a lack of sensitivity, they said.***

Soooooooo, what they're saying is that the museum is being insensitive by NOT showing scenes of death and destruction?

I have searched and was finally able to find one of Sgt. Fay's paintings printed in an article. My apologies that it is so small, but it was all I could find.

Searching was complicated because there is another contemporary artist with the same name. Sgt. Fay's paintings are in the Combat Museum and one hangs in theHeritage Foundation offices.
