The Photograph That Ended a War But Ruined a Life
“Murder of a Vietcong by Saigon Police Chief” Eddie Adams, 1968

“Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world,” AP photojournalist Eddie Adams once wrote. A fitting quote for Adams, because his 1968 photograph of an officer shooting a handcuffed prisoner in the head at point-blank range not only earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1969, but also went a long way toward souring Americans’ attitudes about the Vietnam War.

For all the image’s political impact, though, the situation wasn’t as black-and-white as it’s rendered. What Adams’ photograph doesn’t reveal is that the man being shot was the captain of a Vietcong “revenge squad” that had executed dozens of unarmed civilians earlier the same day. Regardless, it instantly became an icon of the war’s savagery and made the official pulling the trigger – General Nguyen Ngoc Loan – its iconic villain.

Sadly, the photograph’s legacy would haunt Loan for the rest of his life. Following the war, he was reviled where ever he went. After an Australian VA hospital refused to treat him, he was transferred to the United States, where he was met with a massive (though unsuccessful) campaign to deport him. He eventually settled in Virginia and opened a restaurant but was forced to close it down as soon as his past caught up with him. Vandals scrawled “we know who you are” on his walls, and business dried up.

Adams felt so bad for Loan that he apologized for having taken the photo at all, admitting, “The general killed the Vietcong; I killed the general with my camera.”

PKn Time ^o^

Yap, kalian semua tahu bahwa pelajaran pendidikan kewarganegaraan itu sedikit membosankan. I'm sorry, but it's a fact. Real fact.
Berhubung waktu kamis itu pelajaran PKn nya lagi ulangan lisan, saya laras dan cahya bosan. Finally, saya menjadi kejahilan dr mereka berdua. Dan inilah hasilnya -___-

Yaaaa, saya pikir ulang saya sedang (tidak) menghormati guru. Tapi, saya lakukan karena keadaan yg memaksa. Ketika barisan saya sudah maju semua dan tidak ada yg perlu di dengarkan. Jadilah begini hasilnya. Maafkan saya bu................................................................

nb: Ini udah jd draft dr tanggal 16 Mei

Ah biarkan.

Bookstore....

I missed bookstore
The feeling when you touch interesting new book title
The comfy couch you can use to browse some pages
The provocative books you read in the darker side of the room
Like, “101 bedroom techniques to get your husband back”
Steal some sentences of that horoscope books because you don’t want to buy it
The recommended book list you trust 150%
Best selling list, your friend is on them and you wonder when will your turn
Then you start browsing to research for writing your next book
Because suddenly you feel motivated that you can be as successful
And you ended up buying too much books
Assuring self that this is life investment

I know you can relate
