A child's drawing in graphite and colored pencils that depicts military personnel carrying out an attack on a small village and its residents, including women and children. An airplane and a helicopter are both seen dropping objects onto the buildings below, setting them on fire, while a tank and a truck with a mounted machine gun fire at the villagers themselves, who appear to have been going about their normal, daily lives. A soldier on foot who is wearing camouflage and has a machine gun slung over his shoulder holds a hand up to stop a man and a child from passing.
