In 2009-2010, a group of warfighters were sent to an astir combat environment.  

The invisible enemy was clever enough to attack from every angle including the ground. 

One day, S.Cobb and his team were abruptly stopped when his 3-ton armored Buffalo was tossed into the air by a 500 lbs.

 bomb like a child's plaything.

The tire was launched hundreds of feet in the air while a plume of dust and smoke clouded the area around the vehicle. Nothing was able to be seen that moment but After the dust had cleared, it showed a destroyed, blown-to-pieces buffalo.

This moment in time could have only been prevented by what you see in the painting as the Marine checks for bombs in the ground. 

Peaceful is the pig that thinks about this truth. As the pig symbol is more than what a person could be, it could be what was left of us after the war had its way with our lives.
