THE HOLIDAY: Iris + Miles + moments

i listen to this podcast by two priests who talk about what life as a priest is like because I find their stories interesting, and one of the best moments was when the younger priest, baby priest we shall call him, absolutely lost it on the podcast because he had been preaching, then he saw someone do a full body sigh, shoulders up and down, then look at their watch, and then shoot baby priest a dirty look. Because priests are human too, this priest found it irritating on a human level, which, okay, I can see that--and then, he spent several minutes vehemently (and jokingly, but also, vehemently) proposing that Catholicism should update its rules so if anyone does that, the priest is allowed to come down from the altar and challenge the person to hand-to-hand combat. He argued that more people would come back to church if there was a chance of seeing the priest getting in a fistfight and in fact they might go to church multiple times a day. He stubbornly refused to allow exemptions for little old ladies. he was fully and passionately committed to the idea of Catholicism allowing priests to fistfight parishioners in the middle of mass, and I'm going to say it: i think he was right

It still amazes me that the US Army gave combat artists carte blanche to paint whatever the hell they wanted to depict during Vietnam War

This is an era where censorship in public and private is not only accepted and encouraged (from the WWII/Korea era’s lingering influence) but widespread. The news can’t do too closely. Letters are routinely censored of military detail, and then anything that makes the military look bad too.

But the artists? They were left to do as they pleased. The US Army established CAT (Combat Artist Team) units that literally only went to Vietnam to sketch things, then returned home and spent the rest of their time turning those sketches into paintings. They were given free rein to depict whatever they wanted to draw.

There’s some harrowing artworks that I keep stumbling across while in the Vietnam war photograph section. Most atrocities (American and South Vietnamese alike) were not photographed or those that were, were censored (I do occasionally unexpectedly run into pictures of mutilated corpses, mind you).

But the artists? They were left to do as they pleased, and the result is some of the best and most thought-provoking singular things I’ve seen of the Vietnam War.
