Intresting enough, that photo was a reinactment of the iwo jima flag raising , made in order to make the whole scene look more heroic. The real flag raising was no wear near as spectacular as that one. So the little fact given there was a bunch of bull.

Wrong, the original picture of the iwo jima flagraising was a picture taken after the combat, there was a reinactment of it done for the statue as far as i know but the picture was taken as it happened and wasn't a reinactment.
