War Is Hell

Try as I might, I haven't been able to find the people who are offended by the sight of the caskets draped in American flags as they travel home. It seems to me that the only one who has a problem with this is George Bush.

This is purely conjecture, but I think I'd want those photos on the news, in the papers, and all over if my loved one were killed. Those caskets are the reality of too many Americans. I'd point to those photos and say, "THIS was my war." I think what's disrespectful is to greet the arrival of troops home safe and sound and ignore that some of them are missing.
