Force Of Duty

War exceeds all limitations of experience.  Astonishing scenes far beyond all possibility in peace fill our eyes with over-filled reality or else in stunned imagination when the tales are told.  Our heart and bowels gripped by fear, yet still our brain is dazzled by hypnotic vision of some vast simplicity of mystic power.

This illustration for "New Recruiting Posters" is based on a small painting by the artist.  It was a premonition of the horrors we Americans were unleashing on ourselves when we began the Terror War.
