A Moment Of Silence For The Fallen And The Shunned

Even If They Don't Care, We Do.

Here's the compilation of photos the Bush Admin. doesn't want you to see. When I see the photo of a coffin, I think of their family. Many don't want us to see these photos, especially during an election period. Look at these photos and remember they're families and the fact they're loved ones will never be coming home. Why these photos are a shame I don't understand, election or not. If you have the so-called balls to go to war, have the respect for the dead men and women and let the country see their ultimate sacrifice. Please. It's a no-brainer isn't it? But many don't care to want to see it. This is for their families.

but the problem is that if it's for troop morale, how do they hide the troop deaths from the troops themselves? See what I mean? Kind of doesn't make sense. The troops there are well aware of the dead in the bloody transfer tubes (lmao) so their morale is already down. It's the people at home whose morale must be maintained. Lessons from Vietnam.

Let me just say that I'm not saying I support the policy or the reasoning behind it--I'm sort of undecided.

But, there is a difference between "knowing" that people are dying, and having the pictures in your face on every tv and newspaper you see. I'm sure that the Department of Defense knows more about troop morale than I do, so I am going to defer on this one.

However, I do not disagree that morale on the homefront is VERY important.

And moral on the home front is a....political concern.    So it is indeed politically motivated, to not show images of coffins.

never said it wasn't--everything in life is political, or can be argued in to the political universe.

**jumps off plank, holding her nose--doesn't enjoy the "water up the nose" feeling which, in her mind, is much worse than the "being eaten by alligators" feeling**
