Glutens for Punishment
Sunday, December 27th, 2009With the news, before Christmas, that America is going to commit 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, it’s easy to pass over this piece of information without considering much more than politics behind the headline. Since the invasion in 2001, notably now over 8 years ago, the news from ‘on the ground’ in Afghanistan has dwindled to a distant murmour. There are still undoubtedly people out there recording it for us to see, but the story isn’t getting through. It wasn’t until I saw the photo exhibition on this website, that I started to get any kind of idea what it must be like, and even then, watching this at home can’t possibly come anywhere close to what ‘s it’s going to to be like for those 30,000 soldiers, or any of the other people involved with that war.
