| Full Metal Jacket
During the first Iraqi War, I noticed that
I was wearing a bomber jacket while watching the news on television.
I thought it was ironic, that after 40 years, this weapon had
morphed into a fashion item. It was originally designed to keep
bomber crews warm, so the planes could reach maximum altitude
and shield the men from the psychological effect of bombing civilian
targets. I was appalled that war could now be seen 24/7, the camera
as impersonal as a bullet.
