Description
After seeing the movie "Black Hawk Down", I got the idea for this image.
Three men, abandoned by their countrymen, trying to get out of this hellhole alive.
This image is dedicated to all of those whose blood stains the ground in foreign countries, fighting for a politician's war.
Somalia and Vietnam were two of the worst messups ever to plague the United States. This is for all of those who died with honor, bravely fighting on a horrific battlefield.
I can't even imagine, nor can anyone who has not been in that situation.
Especially the US Armed Forces, since I am a US citizen. And the Israeli Armed Forces, which have to fight for their country in truly hellish environments, where often they cannot tell friend from foe and where the foe is willing to murder hundreds of innocent civilians practically every day just to make a point. There is no honor in such combat.
We honor your memory.
Thank you to all of you.

excellent texture on the brickwork and well good fire effects.
Well done ! '"As soon as the first bullet flies past your head, politics and all that bullsh*t goes right out the window. It's about the man next to you and that's all it is".
as a vietnam veteran..I appreciate your words and your tribute...and I love what you have done here..really wonderful work, my friend! thank you! *V

Their memories will never be forgotten...This is truly a wonderful dedication of THANKS...Bravo!!!...:)
Action is wonderful in this :)
very thoughtful words and image, nice work :)
Wow Excellent fantastic detail image!!!Bravo V!
You got my vote on just the subject matter alone even without the outstanding render. This inspires me to attempt a piece of my own someday when my talents improve. Sadly too late for abandoned challange and sadly too early in my capabilities, but some day I'll do one honoring my friends who served on the USS Pueblo and were abandoned to captivity for 181 days.
Pretty real atmosphere. They won't be forgotten.
Super use of tex on the building.
very well done. I like the idea and the story behind it. U have some powerful moving words there, and the render matches it PERFECTLY. Like the work, and beautiful words.
Nice texturing on the building....great scene...
Amen to that brother, great image!
Dear Robert, Incredible action image! You've done such a great job of capturing the drama. Great textures nad great effects!!! Really Excellent Work!! Love, Meredith
Thumbs up to this my friend. Lets not forget Grenada and many other unannounced incursions ... and now Iraq ... where the daily slaughter includes anyone, any sex, age or personal beliefs. Bring 'em home - and God bless those already feet first. :-(
Very moving picture. The atmosphere is dark and gloomy just like war is dark and gloomy. You really out-did yourself with the building textures. Excellent picture.
