Since ancient times, putting fear into the hearts of your opponents — essentially inspiring ‘shock and awe’ — as a way of weakening them mentally and emotionally have been standard tools of warfare. The photo below (explained in the linked article) would certainly be an excellent example of this practice.

Viral: Eerie photo of French soldier in Mali upsets military officials
Why this photo should “upset” military officials is beyond me. Frightening your enemies so they put up less resistance and even run away is an old, standard military tactic. It’s even, perhaps, ‘kind’ in the sense that scaring them away may be more merciful than killing them in the field (unless you choose to slaughter them in retreat, of course).
In any case, given the bloody butchery inherent in war, scary masks should be the least of any military’s concerns. Heck, maybe the French should even consider using this as a recruiting poster.
“Allowing the Neoconservatives to brand humanitarian intervention as always their sort of project does a grave disservice to international law and institutions, and gives them credit that they do not deserve, for things in which they do not actually believe.” – Juan Cole
I love history. I think it’s particularly fascinating when you can almost imagine yourself in the past because a scene is presented so vividly, and nothing does that with more power than film or photos from a long-ago time.
Below are four links that I’ve collected and put in the History tab of ThinkWingRadio.com.
