This art should be protected.....it will be used to teach many generations to come....how brave men fought...and still had to be artistic in it
Una fuerte lluvia y desaparece.
Unfortunately its probably already washed away/destroyed
There's nothing to teach future generations. There's nothing to be learned that's not repeated over and over and over and over and over and over again.
First of all freedom should be protected. Art is interesting but far less important.
*how man were forced to fight.
I'm glad so many people are taking profound moments from this. For me, im reminded of all the incredible talents and skills that die in war, all the individual people with unique passions. The other thought it brought me was how thankful i should be to even have the opportunity to feel lost with my future. That is a privilege all on its own, for some people have their exact future dictated by a war theyre thrown into.
Sad, but we're SO lucky here, we still enjoy our freedoms unlike human SUFFERINGS, killings, hunger, destruction in places around the world! What's going on in the middle east SHOULDN'T EVER HAPPEN HERE! AMERICANS TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED!

this is like in movie 300 where he ask what the enemy soldiers do and they say common jobs and then he asks his soldiers what their profession is and they’re just straight up professional warriors!
