"Battles are not won by firing ICBMs into a foreign nation, battles are won by the will of the people and it is our job, our responsibility, to keep the people up to date even if it implies the loss of one of our own"
-- Raymond Augustus
BIOGRAPHY
There was a special section in his grandfather's house; a small archive packed full of cut-out articles and photographs from Vietnam War. A short while after the grandfather passed away, the sophomore Raymond Augustus discovered this shelf. Much of the shelf's content was well-known photographs and documentaries, a few of these were not and were kept as private memento.
These were: photographs of a girl fleeing from the aftermath of a napalm bombing, of a log-carrying mother walking a dirt path on bare foot, of U.S. soldiers dragging the body of a comrade out of a trap hole, and hidden in the back of the drawer was a crumpled recall notice.
Of course, his father knew about the collection. "He was not a war journalist, what could he have possibly done about it?" he shrugged off the question about the recall paper. He said that the grandfather had never returned to any warzone and how he had come home a changed man. "In the end", he paused for a brief second, what he was about to say is the beginning of Raymond's journey to battlefields across the world as a journalist, "There are a few things only a journalist can do and ending war is surely not on the job description when you are a private".
PARTNER
The new editor is a woman. April gave off the vibe of a domestic girl who had never left the civilization, which was just fine and dandy since she wouldn't have to leave the office and go on a field trip to Iraq; she just needed to do her editorial job. That still meant it would be challenging persuading her these; other than his clustered, chunky writing, all the obscenity in war photography and borderline insane stories; were necessary. Let's hope she wouldn't cross out too many like the last one did. She seemed to ask a lot of questions that had nothing to do with editorial and he thought it was kind of bothersome. Better than quietly leaving out important photos, he supposed.
