Artist's Comments

SFC Brandon interacting with a child during a recent humanitarian aid drop in East Hudaris.

People, seriously, this is just a picture. It's not a piece of propaganda, I am not a professional photographer, I am a medic, I don't get paid to do this. I just happen to have a camera and I enjoy taking pictures. Honestly, of all the pictures of war some of you pick this one to bitch about. If you don't like it feel free to hit the back button and look at some other pictures. I hate politics and and some of you are being straight assholes. If you intend to waste the energy and leave a negative comment then atleast leave something intelligent and relevent to the picture. And do some research first. Or since you don't like the current global situation maybe you should become an activist and actually do something, instead of whining in my comments about it. You're not accomplishing anything by sitting with your thumb up your ass and debating a picture of something positive happening in a combat zone.

Humanitarian Aid by ~SlowDownGandhi comes in all shapes and sizes, even a small box of cookie means the world.

This kind of stuff happens pretty regularly, it's just that big media doesn't usually tell people. Pictures and stories of fighting and death sell more than pictures like this one.

i know... not all of "war" is bad or violence

cane and carrot means that you make nice just so you can impose your will. I believe that is what the other commenter was cynically saying.
:iconslowdowngandhi:
Yeah, I know what he/she meant, I was just hoping they would clarify themselves instead of leaving a snide comment and popping smoke. This conflict is what it is and I have no patience for tinfoil hat equipped people who think that an effective form of protest is to leave negative comments on my pictures.
