What Veterans Look Like After A Decade Of War In The Middle East In 10+ Scandalizing Pics By David Jay& James Nachtwey
Wars never truly discontinue, because even though they may finish on the battlefield, numerous veterans draw the campaign back home and are forced to live with them for the rest of their lives.
This sad and sobering truth is highlighted by Photographers like David Jay and James Nachtwey, who have been documenting young and poorly wounded American soldiers following their return home from battles in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I have been a witness, and these envisions are my information. The events I have registered should also be borne in mind and must not be repeated, " writes Nachtwey, while Jay's project, compiled into a series called Unknown Soldier, was a finalist in the Portrait category for the Magnum Photography Awards 2016.
Talking about his slides, Jay expressed the view that they present "an opportunity to open a dialogue about issues we are not necessarily cozy with…and also issues that we are responsible for. The portraits can be awkward for the onlooker. It forces us to confront our fears and limiteds about life, extinction, sexuality, sickness, affairs, etc. Reality is not ever fairly. This is reality. Let's address it."
