Pictures That Lie

I choose the magazine picture of the seven Marines that had a story about soldiers going AWOL. I picked this picture because I thought it was relevant in today's world with the war going on. This photograph was found on a Harper's cover. The problem with the picture is that the soldiers that are in photograph are associated with the AWOL article when in fact none of them had suffered from this. Getty Images, who took the photograph, said that the cover was not a representation of the story that was supplied in the magazine. I believe this picture could be harmful to some soldiers because it puts a stereotype for soldiers to be mentally damaged after war.
