Defying Pentagon Ban, La. Guard Unit Allows Footage of Returning Coffins.
WHY won't the Pentagon permit these sorts of things to be released? What are they afraid of? Admiting the true mess that the situation really is?
I don't understand why it is so controversial in the U.S...
How can it be unpatriotic not to acknowledge the deaths of the soldiers that have died for America?
Isn't it about time to face up to the personal, closer-to-home cost of war instead of the daily parade of news bulletins proclaiming what a good effort is being done?
I think every single serviceshould be aired on national television - then lets see how many still support the occupation.
Oh, I forgot one small thing: it would probably take up too much $$$precious$$$ airtime...
for you that miss out on getting a bit of 'perspective', heres something that won't be featured too often in your regular, chirpy prime-time news
Perhaps Brad and Jen were more important? You can get plenty of images of them - hell, even get paid for broadcasting them!
Maybe it is time to start confronting the issue, maybe it is time to say enough is enough?
