legend11 32 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 My favorite is probably the one of Obama and others in the Situation Room watching the Bin Laden stuff unfold. It portrays the tension of the moment really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely much more of that then the natural devastation images. Still believe that the SEAL's dog was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Those things happen and they make for mind boggling imagery. It does happen, and I'm not saying that some of those images shouldn't be included, but it was highly excessive, given the slim number of images from: 1. Copious amounts of natural disasters this year 2. Tenth anniversary of 9/11 3. Turmoil in Middle East Let's just say, it hides the bias about as well as Boy George hides his sexuality.

The natural disaster photos are ridiculous. The before/after Missouri one is the wildest, IMO. But I agree with the SWVASports Liberal (deuces) too, sweet pics regardless...

Guest The Variable Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Those things happen and they make for mind boggling imagery. And I loved seeing those images. Thats exactly what we should be doing. The only thing I didnt like was the aussie and french canadian make out scene. It was missing an excellent Gears of War style curb stomp. The images from the Middle East are telling. Just showing the backwards, violent, and completely acinine behavior of the culture over there. Joplin and Japan had crazy scenes Ill never forget the video showing waves of japanese houses flowing down the landscape. Sad. Bin Ladens death: Notice President Obama is sitting in the corner with Biden looking half asleep next to him, and everyone else looking more involved and important. Perfect portrayal there. The Sandstorm pic brings back memories of Iraq. We had 5 major sandstorms like that in the year I was there and countless smaller ones. You literally can not do anything aircraft related when they roll in. SEAL Dog is one of the most moving images I have ever seen in my life. Maybe they should have had an image of GMAN using the banhammer on the protesters? Edited December 5, 2011 by The Variable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 SEAL Dog is one of the most moving images I have ever seen in my life. Another angle. Nothing will ever portray the saying "dogs are a man's best friend" more than this will. Please excuse me while I go to the bathroom, my allergies are killing me right now.

Please excuse me while I go to the bathroom, my allergies are killing me right now. I remember when Fox showed the video of this. Absolutely moving. The first time I did border patrol, we were carrying Marine MP K-9 units with us. Marines with Tactical Shotties and German Sheppards. Illegals didnt mess with those guys. Most of those guys were friendlier with their four legged partners than anyone else. It kinda proves the saying: The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.
