The Terror of War

When I see an image like this, I have one of those “does God exist” moments. It’s terrifying that any child had to feel this way. Five children, all who appear to be under the age of ten, are running from what’s behind them. They’re screaming. We don’t know where they’re running and I doubt they did either. I can see what they’re running from. What’s behind them is clear: U.S. soldiers and an explosion. Another picture gives a second perspective of the same children.

We can appreciate a happier ending here though. In this article, the photographer behind these pieces shares his friendship with the now grown up nine year old running in the photo.
