Let's take pictures of the flag draped caskets...let's hold up "God Hates ****" at their funerals...Let's pretend we support our troops but hate the war.

What a quandry.

[interesting blend of sad and too much dull detail- couldn't sit through more than 15 minutes of it]

I really want to see this movie but since I don't have HBO I hope to catch it sometime during my many travels.

Over the last few years, I have been on three airline flights which included a serviceman escorting a body home. It is a disturbing scene each time.

I watched this last night. Very good movie and very true to the actual process. I served as a CACO once and escorted the body of a fellow shipmate to Ohio, from Virginia, when I was a young LT. I will never forget it. I was also in charge of the removal of the bodies of the 37 sailors that were killed aboard USS STARK in 89. They were flown to Ramstein first, then Dover. I have to admit, the scenes of the flag draped caskets being loaded brought tears to my eyes.

God Bless those who are serving our country... and the families of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Why is it that Liberals want to see the bodies of our fallen warriors as they return but don't want to see the atrocious carnage that our enemies are inflicting on innocent men, women, and children.

I actually think that the news should be showing the bodies and blood of the aftereffects of these suicide bombers and the IEDs. How about pictures of the disfigured torture victims and mass graves of Sadam Hussein's victims. Maybe then the American people would forget about the WMD and focus on the fact that (as we say in the South) the guy just needed killing.

Or my favorite, a picture of the bodies where a suicide bomber blew himself up where an American soldier was giving chocolate to a group of Iraqi children. He killed 23 Iraqi children to get one American soldier. Don't you think that picture would raise the ire of the American public. Most of the danger to our soldiers is because of the injection of PC into fighting the war, due to the fact that much of America has not bought in this war.

Hell, we have even allowed idiots to say that 911 never happened, or was staged by the American government. Could anyone imagine the reaction of the American public during WWII if some nut group had declared that Pearl Harbor had never happened, or had been staged by the US government?

So, I say show it all. Flood the news with graphics of the violence that is the real world and jolt the sheep out of their dream world.
