Re: Photos from the Battle of the Bulge

Yikes..... 350%? That sounds hellish.
Also, I've looked at those photos and the color ones scare the crap out of me. Not because they "seem more tealistic", but because they don't seem to elicit the same response of concern as the black and white ones do. I look at them and... they don't seem that distant or alien. They look like the stuff you see on CNN, or BBC, or internet news sites, or any source of media. It looks less like something that happened over 60 years ago and looks more like something that happened in the past 60 days. I don't know if it's the frequent amount of wars around the globe in my generation, or if it's the contrast of black and white colors and how we've grown more used to them in the second half of the 20th Century, but.......

Me and others around me have grown up with seeing and reading this stuff from different news media. The prospect of war just doesn't seem to affect me or others my age as much as it would affect someone our ages those many years ago. That scares me. That scares me a LOT.
