  • Funny Soldier

    Posted on May 17th, 2005 Matt 1 comment

    I found this in an old (12/8/2003) US News & World Report a while back. I think I’ve looked at it about 50 times and laugh every time. I just love Jenkins’ facial expression here (upper left).

    Jenkins' face makes me laugh -- even after more than a year and a half. Click to go to the Flickr page

    Do you think it’s posed? I would love to learn more about this photo. Does anyone know anything about it?

    Here’s what I know:

    • The soldier’s last name is most likely, “Jenkins” from the Army’s 1st Armored Division
    • It was published in US News & World Report on December 12, 2003

    You can read the article which accompanied this photo in the US News archives.

    fun, journal

      To close his article, Brian Duffy writes, “Images are important. In the end, however, they seldom succeed in masking a messy reality”. In my case, Jenkins’ face filtered all reality of the messiness of war.
