The moment of death, Robert Capa is shot and killed during the Spanish civll war in 1936, R.I.P.

Probably one of the most iconic and tragic war photographs ever captured.

Incredible pictures! War is sad for those who fight, for those who die... and those who are left behind after losing loved ones. I do not like war and I think that Jesus would not support it either especially the wars over the past 40 or so years.  




Jesus said, "Take heed that no one deceives you."

Matthew 24:4

The firebombing of Tokyo in 1945 was supposedly worse than the bombing of Dresden.

Unbelievable. Man's inhumanity to man never ceases to astound and revolt me.
