in one of Heisler's photos there are some little boys standing by a coffin with an american flag over it. two of the little boys are already dressed up in military uniforms. i think this photo is a good argument against the iraq war. the photo does a good job of arguing the point that america's youth are going over to iraq and fighting and how that it is a very bad thing when a country starts sending off some of it's youngest men and sons off to war.

if i were to write an argumentative essay on this photo i would probably bring up the argument about america's youth going off to fight the war and the casualty numbers so far in this war.

if i had to create a caption for this picture i would probably say something like, "they get younger and younger everytime". the arguement i'm trying to make with this caption is that america's youth going off to fight for their country and also the fact that some of the little boys in the picture are wearing army uniforms already.
