Last night I went to the US Army Old Guard’s Twilight Tattoo. A first class advertising campaign.
I didn’t get any good photos. But, seems to me that the two images above illustrate the importance of lighting. The left image looks rather sinister. Is that armed man going to open fire on the people stuffed in the stands. The right image only looks sinister to old anti-war activists like me. Most would see a friendly soldier.
In the background is one of the main buildings of the “Army War College”. Do they have a football team? What about cheerleaders?
Army War College – in the olden days the War College maintained a cadre of personnel called “The Enemy Army”. As I recall the enemy spoke Esperanto, had uniforms, the whole deal. I wanted to join the Enemy Army.
Gotta feel sorry for Farrah Fawcett – not only did she die – but after about six hours her death was upstaged by Michael Jackson.
Ironic pictures since just today the House of Reps voted 224 to 190 for full disclosure on the Graduates of the the School of the Americas (now called WHINSEC). A major victory for the international human rights community and one step closer to transparency and to closing the SOA/ WHINSEC!
