Vietnam, a photo essay.

Riveting. Take the time to look at it, as the photos are iconic and moving. It puts many things into perspective… or at least, it should.

While I accept and acknowledge that sometimes violence is the answer, it’s certainly an ugly answer… and I wish it didn’t have to be an answer. The realist in me carries a gun and studies martial crafts. The idealist in me wants peace and love. The optimist in me strives for that ideal.
