The world today

This haunting image is NOT of the Allied soldiers in World War II. This is NOT Dunkirk or
Iwo Jima.

This is actually in Afghanistan in 2006. These are wounded US soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division.

They are being evacuated from Kamdesh in Afghanistan after suffering shrapnel wounds in a fierce battle with Islamic militants.

This photo is among those shortlisted for Time magazine’s Best Photos of the Year.
