Good stuff! A lot of those images in the TIME piece are timeless - they symbolize photojournalism in times of war.
- Though I'm really surprised the Marlboro Man wasn't in that. Thanks.
Happy Veteran's Day to my Granny....gramps was Army Air Corps, 1941-44, mechanic
and to Dad, all dad's brother's, who served Marine Corps and Army. One uncle stepped off a transport plane in Nagasaki, a couple months after the Bomb, being transitioned during leave....the only 1st hand account I have ever heard in person, of the devastation.
I think those photo essays were comprised of photos only from TIME... if that pic of the smoking soldier wasn't in TIME, chances are that's why he wasn't included.
It is also remembrance day in the Commonwealth, here is a related video.
