To illustrate, in the most accurate manner possible, the reality of what is happening over there.

Thank goodness this picture came out. I didn't realize people were being killed over there.

Honestly, do you?

Is that a real question?

Is that a real question?

Absolutely..................

Do you know how these people are dying?

Have you seen it?

Have you been to an army hospital where the soldiers tell their stories or are currently going through rehab?​

What a lame defense.

For your client's sake, I hope your courtroom are better.

I am with Law on this one. People have no idea what our soldiers go through.

I'm pretty good friends with a guy that got back from Afghanistan about a year ago.

And the way to clue them in is one photo?

Absolutely not.......... show people the war so that they know how much their soldiers love them and their country!

:good!:

Tell that to the mother who is scared to turn on a TV, read a newspaper, or open a magazine for fear of seeing her son's death photo.

For a public that thinks they are shat...... absolutely.

I wouldn't have to, the mother knew how great her son was. The country needs to know that also.

The burden of losing soldiers should not be limited to the family.

These are our soldiers who die for us. We need to honor them.

More people need to see....

Publishing a death photo of a soldier, AFTER his family requested that it not be published?

That's not honoring a soldier. That's exploiting his death for one motive , profit.

Huge difference in a picture of a soldier's coffin, and a picture of a soldier in his death throes on the battlefield.

This one case, sure, but the public needs to know about war and what it costs.
