Propaganda has been integral to all conflict since ancient times - just look at the depiction of the Turks and Moors as Barbarian savages in the Crusades and you can see that.I don't see where you get the impression that we are viewing it as bad though. What most people posting here have said is that images like the ones described in the OP, though powerful, do not excuse the behaviour of troops that kill an unarmed, wounded enemy who was trying to surrender.I think anyone with half a brain knows that in any conflict, there is going to be propaganda. There is some quote about winning hearts and minds that I'm sure is applicable here but I can't remember it for the life of me.....</blockquote>
