Hiding the true horrors of war from the public is wrong. Pictures of dead soldiers used in media and in military training material are all used with the permission of the families. Yes it is hard on the families, but some of those families know that by allowing others to see what actually happens is honoring the memories of their loved ones.

Exactly, honour the dead by using them as a training tool.When someone sees an actual dead body, or photo of a dead body, not that hollywood horror shit, you A.Can show what happened, and how to avoid it.B.Don't have a fuck-face cherry recruit who breaks down in combat because he has never seen a dead person.

Yes, exactly.
If we are a Democracy why do we try to censor the realitys of war? Why can't a picture of a flag draped coffin be shown? Its all thought control.

I'm going to go ahead and call you out there jr. I don't believe you have been in the military son. If you had you would know soldiers know dam well what they face. That's a bunch of shit that's basically pure ignorance about the military. And as far as the small acts of patriotism, you know supporting the troops magnets. I'm a military man from a military family and that stuff means something to me. Your comments show you don't get the military families of America all share a bond through there suffering and sacrifice. They put the stickers or whatever to comfort eachother, to show you are not alone and it brings them together. What you got against that? You act as if every time one of our soldiers dies they don't announce it in the news. According to you before we go to war we should carry a gruesome deceased body of one of our soldiers through the streets? Then what? Ask people is this what you want? Of coarse no one would say yes, take my son. And if America was like that, there would not be a America now. You would make a good Canadian.

They are shown, if a soldier dies from your area, go to his funeral. And show your respect.

I am as patriotic as any. But the fact is we are in a 1100 year old war now. I say fuckem. But we are losing sons and daughters to this war. I'm not in-tuned enough anymore to know the tactics but it will and does evolve on both sides. We as Americans hope that determination and technology will prevail but that is sadly mistaken sometimes. Every person in the field knows this.

I know you meant 11 years, and in a way you're right. But our soldiers haven't given up, nor do they feel defeated. I think we should have one more big pounding of the enemy and get the hell out too. Just keep a close eye on them and prepare to have to deal with more serious threats in the future.

So because I don't agree with you and you didn't get the meaning of my comment means I'm not in the army? You're wrong there. 6 years in so far and two deployments. I'm infantry, what are you?

[niknik]

I know what you meant, I just didn't have, and still don't have the same experience with the military as you seem to have had. What I get from you is we should show the dead bodies of our soldiers on tv so people's perception is war is horrible and we shouldn't do it. I'm saying people already know that. We don't need to become barbaric like our enemy and display our dead for political bullshit.
I told you before I was in the 101rst.
