America KILLS (big pics)

'American kills' by Chilean-born New York based artist Sebastian Errazuriz is a public
installation showcasing the suicide rates of US soldiers. After searching on official
war sites on the internet, he accidentally found out that 2 times more American soldiers
had died in 2009 by committing suicide than those killed during that same year in the
war in Iraq; an alarming comparison that Errazuriz had personally never read or
heard about before.

1. Extremely powerful images

Not surprising given we have mountains of evidence to suggest what we are doing to our troops is damaging to families, communities, and the military itself in general.

2. When is his deportation hearing?

Somebody's going to send him back to Chile for his failure to appreciate everything the American wehrmacht does for its citizens and the world.
