'"Controversial"? What's Controoversial about it?' Well the controversy is that it was a staged event (the official photo not that the marines did it) There is actually a "real" picture of the marines raising the first flag on IJ but it is not as ascetically pleasing as the "official" picture of the raising of the flag.
