Controversy Surrounds Metro Soldier Ads

WASHINGTON - Depending on which Metro stations you use you could see a controversial display.

Billboards that include portraits of American soldiers staring vacantly into the camera will be hung in the upcoming weeks.

Some say the photographs were shot in a way to make the soldiers appear as if they're dead.

The billboards ask people to think about soldiers, the human cost of war and the psychological impact on servicemen and women and their families.

The soldiers pictured had permission from their commanders and posed between tours of duty.

The billboards will be up at the Farrugut West, Federal Triangle, Gallery Place/Chinatown. L'efant Plaza, Pentagon and Rosslyn Stations.
