    I love Papo’s images. When I first saw this work, I was beside myself. Thanks for reminding me of this.

    great images. odd to see young beautiful female soldiers, but maybe it’s just something I don’t see everyday.

    Yes, it’s disconcerting. They are so young, and a some of them are just luminously beautiful. And at the age when a lot of us were probably fucking around in college, they’re learning to kill people.

    It seems passing strange now, but if the so-called war on terror goes on as long as certain people want it to, these pictures will look like summer camp.
