As a Marine, I am extreamly offended. You have no damn clue what that monument means to Marines, or any service member for that matter. I dont care what the photo you posted is supposed to represent. It's disrespectful to all the men and women who gave their lives in past, present, and future conflicts.

So you can take your "juxtaposition" and shove it up your ignorant ass.

 

Eh, its mildly amusing. But I am not offended by it. I have great respect for veteran's but I have seen worse I guess.

 

Wish I could see it. host it on the here or something

 

 

that's ironic, because you're actually the one acting ignorant.

you want disrespect? I'll show you disrespect:



yes, that's something I should respect....

That said, it's harsh, but honest.

 

Amazing how sensitive some pansies are, and talk about offensiveness when they have no clue what's going on.

 

I do know what it means (to many marines and many regular people too) and what it represents and I can apply that knowledge to what I feel is happening in this picture. My understanding of that that famous moment in time lends gravity and weight to the symbolism the artist may be trying to convey.

Art is subjective and you take away from it what you bring to it. To you, you see nothing more than blantant disrespect for a moment in time. What you dont see is that, (if you give it some thought), the artist may have more feeling toward that image than you do and chose that famous pose to excoriate the McDonalds Brand.

You dont know what the artist meant by this piece of art...neither do I

I do know it can mean many things to many people...that is the beauty of art (of any kind). Its not vular or profain. you may not like it, but like I said...you take from art what you bring to it

 

That's a ridiculous knee-jerk response. Why don't you consider it more deeply before you take it to be an affront to your manhood.

I interpret it to be a social commentary on the prevalence of corporate symbols and culture in the post-greatest-generation era, an indictment of society's drift from the ideals and values of the generation that planted that flag. If anything, it's to honor those men and women, and to show us how far we have deviated.
