These images differ drastically from the images portrayed in today's news when covering wars. These seem to not reveal as much as today's news reveals. It almost seems to glorify war. Plus, they seem to give the sense that war is about killing (looking at the guns). I rarely see guns in today's documenting of war. It seems like in these photos they are saying war is noble and killing is noble which seems to be in stark contrast to today's notion of war.
