"[Chief Master Sergeant] John Gebhardt's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head...but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John's hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan.. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing."
This image creates an argument for the war overseas. It is effective because we see an American soldier comforting a child who was harmed by the insurgents our soldiers are fighting against. It is emotional because we see the connection between a US soldier in uniform and a child. Seeing the little girl makes us think of innocence, and that we are protecting and defending innocence, and it reinforces our views against the enemies because we see her wound on her head.
