This photo reflects the effects that war has on people. In the photo, the soldier in the bandanna is being comforted by another soldier. The soldier in the bandanna must've heard some bad news or experienced something that would make him break down. To the left of the photo, you can see another man who doesn't seem like he's in a good mood either. When you think of war, it's common to assume soldiers are the tough and aren't affected much emotionally. This picture helps us come to terms that soldiers are human too and go through many emotions while going through combat. Many soldiers come home with PTSD because of what they experience. The soldiers might've been staying in that environment as they have sand bags and cots. The soldiers might feel homesick and is crying because he misses his home or family.
