out in the field of the moment of (or just before) death are among the
most celebrated and often reproduced of war photographs

that, that is what it does, too. War tears, rends. War rips open,
eviscerates. War scorches. War dismembers. War ruins.

Tempted to skip every part featured Theon Greyjoy Hands down the most annoying character in the entire series.
