Larry Burrows' photograph of 21-year-old helicopter crew chief James Farley sobbing, alone, after a disastrous March 1965 mission is almost too intimate, too personal
Here are 50 photos that show how great photojournalism quite literally brought war — every war — home to millions of Americans.
Thank a Vet today.

From WSBTV 2: Some parents who attended a trick-or-treat event in Loganville say they were offended by what some children got with their candy; a doll resembling a 12-week-old fetus.
The man who handed out the dolls, or fetus models, is Joshua Edmonds, senior minister of ‘Project: Ignite’, which he describes as a Christian social justice organization.
He believes those who were offended misunderstood his message about life, and that he did not mention abortion during the event even though his organization is against abortion.
“We’re still trying to understand where the offense is at,” Edmonds said.
Watch the news story here.
Can someone go punch Joshua Edmonds in the face? This idiot needs to find another way to share his views on abortion. Although abortion is horrific, Halloween should not be a time to hand out political messages.

Men's Wearhouse store in Oakland stands with Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Had the sign read, “We stand with the 1% and those who want to dress like them,” I’d be calling it great advertising.

In this video, a Texas judge named William Adams took a belt to his teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to download (illegally) music and games. The video, the authenticity of which remains unclear, was allegedly made in 2004 by the daughter, who was apparently being punished for using an internet site disapproved of by her parents. Here is the video below. It is hard to watch. You have been warned: this man is PSYCHOTIC, and so is his wife.
There is a new comment of support for this girl appearing every few seconds on YouTube and reddit. This is going to be a huge story within a few hours. Since the video has gone viral, an investigation has started.
Most feel this man is unfit to be a judge. I would like to see this man taken out back and given a good serving of his own medicine.
This is an actual radio ad for Keller’s Riverside Store in Mason, TX. He tells those who voted for Obama and Muslims that he will not allow them in his class.
The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of “Cat”, and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept.
“I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it” she said.
“I think that’s what he would have wanted”.
-Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both.
Thanks for sharing Kurt.

The last of the nation’s most powerful nuclear bombs — a weapon hundreds of times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima — is being disassembled nearly half a century after it was put into service at the height of the Cold War.
The final components of the B53 bomb will be broken down Tuesday at the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, the nation’s only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility. The completion of the dismantling program is a year ahead of schedule, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration, and aligns with President Barack Obama’s goal of reducing the number of nuclear weapons.

Holy Rollers is a film that follows the rise of arguably the largest and most well-funded blackjack team in America-made up entirely of churchgoing Christians. While they succeed in taking millions from casinos, how will they manage to find a place for faith and God in the arena of high stakes gambling?
The Occupy Wall Street protesters are complaining about everything from corporations to having to repay student loans. Is America the victim of its own success? Have we created a generation of self-entitled cry babies? Bill Whittle thinks so and poignantly explains it in this video. Do you agree with Bill’s assessment of the situation?
