Rober Capa's death of a loyalist soldier. Remarkably they identified the soldier recently as Federico Borrell García.

An image I remember seeing in a museum in Ho Vhi Mhi City. It was extremely anti - US military (I think it was called the Chinese and American War Crimes Museum) but in fairness most of the war crimes it alleges are well documented by western sources also. It gives an idea of what modern weapons to to a human body and while gruesome, I found it really fascinating.

Bloody hell! Goes to show you the mentality of a person who could just pick the remains up like that and look kinda triumphalist

What mankind is really capable of ... images include Nazi atrocities, Bosnia, Rwanda and Cambodia. All from the 20th century.
And we keep saying never again

jesus lads, can ye not come up with something a bit more uplifting than death, genocide and various tragedies? History is about more than killing.

History usually is defined by death, genocides and various tragedies though

You will have to save the picture to an image account such as Photobucket or such, then when you are replying here, copy the 'direct URL' link from photo bucket and put it between the tags

Hope that helps
