[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb]Particularly bad is the nonsense about "The 2,000 American dead are an embarrassment. They are transported to their graves in the dark."[/qb][/QUOTE]My mind referenced the fact that the Administration has banned the photographing of the flag draped caskets as they return to Dover Air Force Base. I think the Administration feels it would be bad for the morale of the American people to see photos like this: [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/19/flagdrapedcaskets.jpg[/IMG] Photos like these, of numbers of caskets sitting together, reflect the fact that large numbers of American soldiers are dying. Additionally, this type of photo has a power that photos of single caskets can not have. They reflect the reality of war which the Administration tries so hard to keep in the deep background. *Do however read a bit of [URL=http://www.thememoryhole.org/war/coffin_photos/dover/clarification.htm]information[/URL] regarding the photos.
