In Platoon, Oliver Stone said the first casualty of war is innocence.

He was wrong.

as the photos here show, the first casualties of war are...the symbols of innocence. and photographers from Reuters and the aP just happened upon many of these perfectly placed symbols of war's horrors.

UPDaTE - Welcome visitors. Thanks for stopping by. I've added links to the pictures - in some cases, the captions are just as good as the photos themselves.

Feel the pathos. Mourn for these oh-so-photogenic and suspiciously dust-free trinkets of childhood.

Just don't ask any questions about their veracity.

That would be wrong.
