Sexual photo shoot of Wounded Veterans

Michael Stokes, a photographer from Berkeley, California, has two new books of his work coming out soon. One of them, called “Always Loyal,” features semi nude and nude photos of amputee veterans of the U.S. military. Stokes became involved with veterans while working on his last book, “Bare Strength.” In it, he had a chapter featuring veterans Alex Minksy, Brad Ivanchan and Chris Van Etten. He raised $10,000 from sales of the book and donated it to The Semper Fi Fund, an organization that provides financial assistance and support to wounded veterans. “Always Loyal” features around 14 different United States Army, Navy and Marine veterans of The Gulf Wars, including one woman. The majority of them have lost one or more limbs in IED (improvised explosive device) attacks. “Some people will say to me ‘Oh, this is really helpful to their self-esteem,’ or, ‘You’re making them feel like men again,’” Stokes told MTV News. “I hear all these types of comments, and the response I have to that is that these guys have come to me very healed and ready to take the world on. I’m not giving them back their confidence. They already have it.”
