In todays email, I received these pictures from ben Yosef is Israel. I don't know this man, but , in the past, I have put his emails on Rumor Mill News because he has presented eye witness reports of war. (From his name, I make the assumption that he is Jewish.)

Most people in America have never known war because it has not touched these shores since 1865. Desert Storm, and Kosovo were not wars. They were sophisticated video games.

The media has been censoring the pictures of war in Israel. I forwarded these because I believe it is important to know what war looks like and feels like. I only wish he had sent more.

One of the German Professors at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey had been a German soldier in Leningrad. With every new class of Naval officers he spent the first day describing what he went through at the Russian front. He described the freezing cold, the friends who died in his arms, the Russian civilians he was forced to kill for fear they would kill him. He described starving, and watching others die of starvation. He described eating the dead to stay alive.

Why did he do this? Because he wanted his Naval officers to get the real picture of what war is like. The Army and the Marines get to see war up close and personal, but in today's wars, Navy men rarely get to see the death and destruction they inflict on the enemy. And rarely do US war ships get attacked.

How many warships have been attacked and sunk since WWII? Then ask yourself how many Marines and Army lost their lives in Korea, Viet Nam and other places?

As said above, modern day wars are becoming more like video games than war.

I sent these photos for the same reasons that the German professor spent the first day of class telling Naval officers about war. I did it so people can know what real wars look like.

Most readers know that Rumor Mill is neither pro Israeli or pro Palestinian. Rumor Mill believes that both of these people have been set up by the founders of the United Nations. Rather than repeat something I have already written, I will find this article and link it below.

After sending the photo email to the Egroups webpage, I received the following email:

----
Raye:
The message 7162 on your board today regarding those pictures sent by Josef:

The first pix have M-16's, old style, contracted only in the U.S. Then there are pix of Browning hi-power and Galil's. In the rocket launcher pix are seen the first new style AR's, M-16's full auto. The last pix has a small boy who has a "gun" it is one of the new toy BB guns on sale in Amerika for about $15..

Why it seems to me that some of the pix are manufactured..

The writer of the above email appears to be making the assumption that the photos are faked to make the Palestinians look bad.

What do you think? Are they?
