I don't understand how a picture of a trash can full of amputated limbs will help me to remember Pearl Harbor. I doubt I would even connect them. I don't see how a picture of someone's loved one splattered on the ground will make me say "Gosh, that was bad after all". I can see the film of the WTC collapsing and say that. I don't need a string of intestines to add anything to the scene. And I don't understand the necessity or fascination with collecting said images.

When I worked for EMS, there were a group of guys that would drive around listening to scanners. They would show up at bad wrecks and take pictures. I remember them being elated because there was a woman's breast lying on the road. I'm sure they justified the behavior somehow but I don't know how.

I don't need a picture of naked women to convince me the Holocaust was bad.

If you identified VOA (me) with that crowd, you've made an improper identification.
I suspect the same is true of "Looking4Truth".

You don't, I don't, and probably 99% of the people in this forum don't.
But the vast mass of the sheeple might need to visit these unsettling images again.
When the voices and seduction by the moral equivalency and radical pacificism crowd
tries to take hold.
I'm not for gratuitous display of these images. Only as educational tools and to
shut up anyone attempting to say "It wasn't so bad" or "It didn't really happen that way".
