I have rarely seen a picture so simple that exudes so much emotion...

Reality really sucks sometimes.

i dont think so.. instead it's a burn victim from a car accident i believe.

Poor guy..you don't know how lucky you are

are you kidding???
look at her face! she's not happy!

I feel bad saying it, but I kinda wonder why the doctors didn't just load him up with a shitload of morphine and let him pass away instead of trying to keep him alive when he was that fucked up. Face burnt off, skull crushed, jeez. To quote a cheesy Stephen King horror movie, "sometimes dead is better".

Wrong again

of course she's not happy. You think he is? But she stuck by his side and is still by his side for one reason: she loves him.

Women like her are rare. In fact people like her are rare.

The picture speaks for itself.

Geez, the guy was disfigured fighting in a war for his country. He should be treated with respect.

Jesus fucking christ!!!!!

50.......

Much Props To The Man Who Fought For Us.

Could be that, or it could be that she is being pressured into staying with him because she doesn't want to be known as the "heartless bitch who abandoned her man in his time of need".

The guilt for leaving him would probably drive her crazy.

It could also be that she loves him very much. That she is passionate enough to stay with him through thick and thin. That she is strong enough to handle this very tough challenge that has been thrown at both of them. And you people are bigger fucking idiots than I ever imagined if you think that is how she looked and felt throughout her wedding day.

It?s a studio portrait by the New York photographer Nina Berman of a young Illinois couple on their wedding day.

Damn you people are morons....learn to read.:disgust

good to see some true love, she must be a real good person

I saw the special cnn had on this, the soldier has had many surgeries on his face and is going to have some more done ....

Dont pass judgement on someone's whole life based on the expression on her face during the fraction of a second it takes to snap a photo.

It said they were childhood sweethearts. Saying she is clearly not happy just because of one photo is really showing your ignorance and lack of class.
There were probably much better pics taken during that photoshoot but of course the media will want to show the most negative thing that they can.

I do think it's a profound photo, but to be able to draw the conclusion that she's "trapped" and only there because she's feel guilty is, as you say, passing judgment, and I just don't think it's a judgment that can be made based on one photo. Someone mentioned some TV special or something. It seems to me that that would be a much better source of information regarding what this woman feels or why she does what she does.

All this over imaginary weapons of mass destruction. :disgust

Oh wait, they're in Syria... no they're at the bottom of Loch Ness.... no, they're on the MOON! I mean, they gotta be somewhere, right?

Actually, this happened because some murderous, psycho, nutjob, Muslim fanatics chose to bomb a military vehicle. Regardless of how you feel about Bush, you have to blame criminals for their criminal actions.

A military vehicle filled with foreign occupying forces. If they were in my country I'd want them dead too.

true true

More political ramblings. Fact is they bombed a guy driving down the road.

Who was armed and shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Don't invade countries and this shit wont happen.

Maybe it is "true love". Maybe it's just a socially abused girl. After all, when kids start on meth nobody doubles over and ejaculates little "true love" postcards.

My money's on, that's true peer pressure.

I agree. I served honorably for a good amount of time but if some Iraqi soldiers were riding down my street occupying my streets I would bomb their asses too. :2 cents:

Wow... this really just made me super sad.

What's even more sad is this poor girl.

As an athiest I really wish there was a hell and a special place in it for George W Bush because that fucking bastard sure as hell deserves to go there. One day, and it may be 20 or 30 or more years from now, but the news will come across about former President GW Bush dying of old age and I will smile because I will know of a world in which I exist and that bastard doesn't.

god bless the Marines

OMG! Poor guy.

It's sad but that guy should wear a fucking mask. I think that'd be easier on the eyes for the bride.

Criminals? Polls show that 2/3 of Iraqi's support violence against US troops. They want us out. The people who did this to him were defending their country. That's a terrible way of looking at it, but it's the truth.

I think I just went thru the entire spectrum of emotions..

poor guy :(

Amen to that! Hell needs to have a whole section for him, his family, and advisors (well the ones that are still working for him)...

oh man... :(

is love really blind??????

that's sad as shit...what sacrifice he made for our country. hope bush is happy!

That's what I see. She can't be an ass and dump him after so long. I hope for their sake I'm wrong, but if not, she is going to be in misery for the rest of her life.

I hope war was worth it.
