Statement
Glorifying and justifying war leads to the recruitment of "G.I. Joe's."
This sculpture depicts the horrors of war. The unprovoked invasion of
Iraq by the Bush administration has lead to the senseless, unnecessary
and wasteful loss and destruction of the lives of our soldiers. War
itself is a crime against humanity.
