Should They Show the Coffins of the Fallen?

[Yukon]

AllieBaba,

Your use of the term "stupid soldiers" is accurate. Only an absolute brain dead moron would fight in Iraq to make money for the same people who are taking their homes, putting them out of work, and denying them medical care. Those fighting for Wall Street America in Iraq are indeed fools.

 

[rayboyusmc]

They are no more stupid morons than any young soldier who has fought for his or her country believing as young people do that they can trust their leaders.

If you think they are stupid, you are looking in a mirror.

 

[AllieBaba]

Yukon, you don't know what you're talking about you piece of shit. You sit there enjoying your freedom to spew whatever garbage you like, while people I know are dying to protect your worthless ass.

I honestly wish posts like the one above would be investigated, and the little basement dwelling porn addicted pimple assed nose pickers would be scooped up and sent to Afghanistan. Or North Korea. Open that shithole you call a mouth there and see how long you live, nancy boy.

Also, my daughter in law is in Afghanistan, my son is going, one of their friends died there, and an old family friend has been there for 2 years training Iraqi policemen. It's evidence that you lack balls as well as honor in that you dare to sit behind your computer and call our wonderful voluntary army, the best in the fucking world, "stupid". Maybe Obama will find you a place in his cabinet.

obama just sent 17,000 to afganistan......don't see any pictures being allowed of this.....

 

[rayboyusmc]

There were pictures on TV of the troops getting ready to depart.

I honestly wish posts like the one above would be investigated

Then move to Russia or China.

 

[AllieBaba]

Of course not. That would require showing patriotic, brave, intelligent, willing, gung ho and well educated soldiers. The exact opposite of what the press would like us to believe of our military.

The person who pens such bs is a traitor and deserves to be treated as one.

 

[Sunni Man]

They parade the soldiers going to war.

But they want to sneak the bodies into the back door like dirty laundry.

That's a disgrace.

The caskets should be in full veiw for all to see.

And damn all of the people with their political spin!!

 

[AllieBaba]

They don't parade the soldiers going, for the reasons I've listed above. Believe me, the PR guys for the military want the press there, and the press won't play. But the press was intitially convening in HORDES for the bodies coming back, until we put a stop to it.

You honor them in life, you honor them in death. But if you refuse to honor them in life, fuck you and your cameras, get the fuck out of the way.

No. The only debate is with turds that think showing the coffins will help them protest the conflict.

Retired, you're a dick as usual. The only debate is in your mind.

Willow, I actually agree with you. If the family wants it then do it, if they prefer not showing the coffin of their loved on then don't.

That is the way to make this not a political statement.

End of Story

End of Story the only reason they didnt is because Ex- Pres Bush wanted to keep the fatalities hidden from the people.

 

[Xenophon]

Funny, former POTUS (not 'ex') Bushie never hid a casualty list.

Explain how he was 'hiding' a death toll that was in the daily DoD reports.

 

[grndaddygrpeape]

I never said he was hiding the actual numbers or reports. But a person would have to actually look those numbers up. Bush was chosing what to feed the American people and rather than showing the good along with the bad. He wasnt showing pictures or coffins coming off the plane to the mass media to show the truth. On T.V. ,i mean, which is where everyone gets thier news. What was the reason? Because he only wanted to promote the positive side of the war and not show the people the negative side of it. And i hate to break it to you but however you say it he is Ex-President Bush.

 

[Xenophon]

The truth?

That is in the casualty lists.

What you are really saying is you wanted the anti-war propaganda value they provide, thus proving the entire point of why they aern't shown.

 

[Wolf]

Yes.. the photos should be allowed to be seen...

If the photos disturb you, dont look at them...

 

[Xenophon]

Nope.

You want to show your own, welcome to it.

Don't tell someone else they have too.

 

[DiamondDave]

It is a disgusting practice that is usually only used for 1 thing... Anti-war propaganda

If this were as simple as being used as an article or story of remembrance, I don't think many soldiers and their families would make a big deal out of it..

But don't try and pull the wool over our eyes... those of you who whole-heartedly support this KNOW EXACTLY what this is being used for

 

[Wolf]

Nope.

So according to your ideology I can only look at pictures or photos I have taken myself?

Doesnt matter if you think the pictures will be used for propaganda, let each person make up his or her mind about the photos.. seems like you think you know what is best for every person and dont want to let people make up their own mind...

If the photos bother you.. dont look at them..

And if you want propaganda, don't do it at the expense of the honored dead

Let me just be blunt with you. Since you don't understand. He was hiding the photos and video of negativity that had to with the war HE wrongly entered into. Just face it. He's a liar and he never had any concern for you or any of us. Only for his coporate backers. He fed to the people through the media (since that's what we're talking about, not actual reports) only positives about the ,sorry but, bs war. Now whats the reason? Well if you ask me and anyone that isnt in denial its to keep the focus off of the soldiers dying in a war for his personal gain.
