“I try to express with the camera what the story is, to get to the heart of the story with picture. In battle I look at things first in terms of people, second in terms of strategies or casualties... To tell a story, you don't photograph one hundred dead civilians to prove there were one hundred dead civilians. You photograph one dead civilian with an expression on his face that says, This is what it's like if you're a dead civilian in Vietnam.” PeopleIfsTryingFirstsLooksHeartStoriesFacesTermExpressionBattleProveHundredCamerasStrategyPhotographVietnamCiviliansCasualties Author:Horst Faas
“The United States government was proud that, although perhaps 100,000 Iraqis had died in the Gulf War of 1991, there were only 48 American battle casualties. What it has concealed from the public is that 206,000 veterans of that war filed claims with the VA for injuries and illnesses. In the years since that war, 8,300 veterans have died, and 160,000 claims for disability have been recognized by the VA.” YearsHas BeensWarStatesGovernmentUnitedUnited StatesProudBattleClaimsDiedIllnessInjuryDisabilityVeteranConcealedCasualtiesState GovernmentGulf WarUnited States Government Author:Howard Zinn

“The battle was over. Our casualties were some thirteen thousand killed--thirteen thousand minds, memories, loves, sensations, worlds, universes--because the human mind is more a universe than the universe itself--and all for a few hundred yards of useless mud.” WorldLoveMindHumansWarUniverseMemoriesBattleThousandHundredUselessSensationsHuman MindYardsMudThirteenCasualties Book:The Magus Source: The Magus
“The look Anthony shot at his sister was so comically malevolent Simon nearly laughed. He managed to restrain himself, but mostly just because he was fairly certain that any show of humor would cause Anthony's fist to lose its battle with his brain, with Simon's face emerging as the conflict's primary casualty.” LooksShowsFacesCertainCausesLosesBrainBattleConflictShotsPrimariesLaughedFistsEmergingCasualtiesComical Author:Julia Quinn
