Holy Shit...The pentagon lifted the ban on taking photographs of our war dead {coffins}& with the families approval, pictures can now be taken...I've spent years debating this with my friends, we hear a lot about this subject because I don't live very far from the airbase morgue where all our war dead return to the United States...I think all of America should have been seeing those coffins all along, I know many of you will disagree with me.
I don't disagree with you, Dutch. If the families are ok with it, I think people should be seeing the coffins, too. It puts a profoundvisual to the cost of the fighting.
