Someone should care, maybe not you....

My thoughts on many things including the army, war, politics, the military corrections system, chaos, life, books, movies, and why there is no blue food. Feel free to comment on what I say. Feedback is nice.

Chechnya photo

In my time spent surfing the net for various reasons I have come across a lot of interesting and or disturbing things. This photo is probably one of the most disturbing of them in many ways. The ambiguity of the photo makes it so thought provoking. You have no idea if the man with the gun is comforting the child or has just shot her parents. (or both) The Website I found the picture on is sort of the Russian version of photobucket or Iphoto. An interesting place to surf.
(If any of you speak Russian maybe you could communicate with the poster of the pics and find out if he was the photographer and what was going on....)

That is thought provoking. It just seems so everyday, except the guy has a gun in his hand. Sadly, in some places that is everyday.
