Pics that Lie

I chose the picture of the AWOL poster with the soldiers. The picture was taken in Parris Island, South Carolina. It was manipulated to show a soldier disappearing from the ranks. I think the purpose was to show that the article was about soldiers going AWOL and showing a soldier disappear from his troop is a good representation of that. Not only was the picture manipulated, but the soldiers shown in the picture weren't even the people who went AWOL so I do think that the context and manipulation of this picture is harmful to the people who are falsely represented.
