Pictured below is the cover of The New Soldier by John Kerry. It is a symbolic re-creation of United States Marines planting the flag on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima in 1945. Over 6,800 American men were killed in the battle for Iwo Jima. John Kerry felt comfortable in mocking a proud and honorable event in American history for purposes of political opportunism.
The New Soldier is out of print and John Kerry has refused to allow the publisher to reprint it. It is, however, available online free at http://johnkerrythenewsoldier.blogspot.com/.
