Now, Let Us Praise Combat Photographers

I recently skewered an anonymous photojournalist for his condescending attitude toward soldiers he was assigned to cover. Allow me now to sing the praises of combat photographers David Guttenfelder, Joe Raedle, and Manpreet Romania by calling attention to this remarkable series of photographs titled “Marines Pour into Afghanistan” at the Denver Post . And, if I may, send out a “Semper Fi” and thanks to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade in Helmund Province.
