This memorial day, before you jump on the facebook bandwagon and start liking photos like these, or commenting with indignant rage about the people who obviously don’t care about the troops, ask yourself how on earth it came to be that all the prettiest wives of soldiers put on their cutest, most feminine outfits then arranged themselves so artfully on their late husbands’ graves so as to look the absolute weepiest for the professional photographer they didn’t notice behind them. Ask yourself why the injured war veterans got dressed up in their fatigues, rolled their wheelchairs out to the graves of their injured buddies to place flowers and weep on a day no one else was there except one lonely professional photographer they didn’t notice. Then ask yourself whether you’re yet sick and fucking tired of being given drippy propaganda, glorifying the meaningless deaths of mostly lower-class enlisted people who joined up because they were promised college money and, should they fail to live, pictures like this at their graves forever, and accomplished mainly the killing of hundreds of thousands of brown people and the acquisition of lifelong post traumatic stress disorder when they were lucky enough to come home.
Happy Memorial Day.
i fucking hate war and there is no reason we should have a day for it

HAHAHAHAHA!!! yes, it’s true! every time i see some beefed out jock in military greens i instantly forget about how he would have beat the shit out of me in high school, or how he probably gets a huge ego boost out of fulfilling the white savior archetype, or how he justifies all those rounds he’s pumped into innocent civilians and their homes. yeah, whenever i see one of our hot soldiers, my mind instantly races to, “ship me off to the most recently invaded oil field so i might get some of dat ass!!!!”
During the 60s’ and 70s’ former president of Yugoslavia, Tito wanted to show the world the strength and confidence of the Socialist Republic by having sculptors and architects building those (very futuristic) monuments commemorating the Second World War. This series entitled Spomenik was photographed by Jan Kempenaers. Today these sculptures now in ruins are located in Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia and Bosnia.
whenever i see these i want to cry
