In the midst of photographing a 'Key Leader Engagement', training for high level US officers to learn how to interact/engage Afghan leaders, I took this shot. The overall training method is 'theater immersion', designed to replicate all facets of life in Afghanistan at Fort Bragg. At first I found myself trying to get a shot without the other photojournalist. Then I realized that the inclusion and or influence we might have on the meeting should be represented. The current conflicts are a new era in the relationship between news media and the military. As the war takes a turn for the worse, we need more coverage to bring the American public's attention to this conflict, so they can democratically decide between more troops or getting our soldiers out ASAP.
