The glorification of the military. The love of wars

I took these photos on 28.01.2015 in London, at Waterloo Station. A video was playing repeatedly for hours or days, trying to convince the passengers to join the British Reserve Army. I am posting these photos in connection to an article I wrote today which I posted earlier with the title “Who is laughing?” The article as my response to the important events which happened in Dallas last night. In the article I talked about reasons why people (anywhere) may join any type of fighting groups or armies, killing for their belief or for money, while powerful political influences are playing with their and other people’s lives and encourage many to become murderers.
