Everyone is aware that the United States is involved in The War on Terror in the Middle East. We also all know that there are soldiers being killed almost daily fighting in this war. What people don’t want to believe is that these soldiers are being brutally murdered, many dying slow and painful deaths. The news coverage turns a blind eye to this fact, almost pretending that it isn’t happening. There are never any pictures of these soldiers in the papers, especially not wounded soldiers fighting for their lives after being shot, or hit by a bomb. I found one UK paper that had a picture of one soldier completely covered in blood, obviously in a lot of pain. This surprised me because you would never see such a picture in a US paper. The UK is not afraid to show their people what is really happening. Though these pictures are disturbing, they show the truth about what happens to soldiers in the war. Americans don’t want to see this, but it is really happening, though not in our own country, it is happening to our men and women fighting to keep us safe.
