Picture of the Day #15
El Salvador, 1984 - Army evacuated wounded soldiers from village football field.
From the Photography of James Nachtwey

I added the caption of the pic, so that the context is a little clearer. There are some fantastic and shocking snaps in the afghanistan section too. Great find, Duke.
I picked this picture from the whole bunch on the site, simply because, at first glance it looks like something out of a movie. But, it's actually real.
Now that you mention it, it does look like a movie freeze-frame. The "famine" section is by far the most disturbing on the site. Definitely worth putting up here sometime, just for shock value.
