- Description
In the first four of a series of five frames the silhouette of a man preaches to assembled soldiers holding guns that they must go to fight in Afghanistan to stand by their friends and promote their values. In the last frame the man and the soldiers are revealed as being Islam. Refers to the government's decision to send SAS troops at the request of the United States to fight in Afghanistan against Taleban insurgents. This decision is contentious for many New Zealanders. Suggests that the motives of both sides are the same.
