Check out the graffiti scrawlings of US troops in Kuwait as they circulate in and out of Iraq, penned onto a latrine wall. It's emotionally reminiscent of PostSecret and provides a unique window into the inner lives of people living under incredible stress.
Picture #6 in particular jumped out at me, with the heartfelt message to God and family strikingly invalidated by another soldier. As the BagnewsNotes crew says, in the killing fields, "feelings become a liability, needing to be numbed out," or slurred away when they inevitably rise up.
