The contemporary visual American experience of war is ubiquitous, and yet war is simultaneously invisible or absent; we lack a lived sense that “America” is at war. This paradox of in\/visibility concerns the gap between the experiences of war zones and the visual, mediated experience of war in public, popular culture, which absents and renders invisible the former. Large portions of the domestic public experience war only at a distance. For these citizens, war seems abstract, or may even seem to have disappeared altogether due to a relative absence of visual images of casualties. Perhaps even more significantly, wars can be fought without sacrifice by the vast majority of Americans.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Yet, the normalization of twenty-first century war also renders it highly visible. War is made visible through popular, commercial, mediated culture. The spectacle of war occupies the contemporary public sphere in the forms of celebrations at athletic events and in films, video games, and other media, coming together as MIME, the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: The Paradoxical In\/visibility of War\u003cbr\u003e John Louis Lucaites and Jon Simons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Seeing War\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: How Photojournalism Has Framed the War in Afghanistan\u003cbr\u003e David Campbell    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Returning Soldiers and the In\/visibility of Combat Trauma\u003cbr\u003e Christopher J.
