You're going to hate me for this... But the woman in the photo - not with anger - says it was pretty much forced on her. In several other shots not published you can watch her push him away and struggle with him; she described him as damn near fall over drunk.

 

Now - great respect to the soldier and his service, and iconic photo of course - but in a sense propaganda as much as anything else.

She don't look like she's fighting him to me and I saw other angle photos, but who cares if she liked it or not, he earned it and she owed it....

He's still the man, either way.....IMO :thumbup:

On my 7th grade intermural flag football team I intercepted a pass that put my team in a playoff game to make the playoffs. I immediately ran to the sidelines and copped as many feels as I could. Mostly on the girls, at most one or two guys (upstairs outside). Some people complained but the school backed me up and said I had it coming.

HMMM

That's funny

 

I scored the winning basket for my school to go to the state championship and patted the homecoming king on the ass and I was not allowed to go to the prom.
