The photo above was taken by Eugene Richards. Sgt. José Pequeño suffered a devastating brain injury from a grenade tossed into his Humvee in March 2006.
“In his mother’s arms, I hardly recall a more visceral sensation of the senselessness of the Iraq campaign. Given the angle, Pequeno’s brain injury draws an unavoidable analogy between war and the capacity for thought. Ultimately, there is no rationalizing or comparing one devastating form of injury with another. In Sgt. Pequeno’s case, however, the war has literally caused him to lose his mind.”
