WHY DOES THE USA NOT ALLOW COVERAGE OF SOLDIERS FUNERALS?


[+] ballot by mithrandir
created Fri Apr 23, 04

The USA does not allow media coverage of dead soldiers returning from Iraq or their funerals. Why is that?

It is disrepectful to the dead to allow mourning
the public might remember the personal cost of war
voters might remember that people actually die for these lies
The families of the fallen do not need support or compassion
The terrorists will win if they see us grieve
Bush will never EVER go to a funeral either
No funeral should have coverage
CENSORSHIP
Respect for the fallen and their families

COMMENTS:
Why the fuck do you think stupid shit, because the Government are all bastards, but mostly because they dont want US citizens to see dead Americans. There trying to hide the fact that were at war, like Vietnam. I think its better that they dont. If your son died in Iraq would you want his dead body all over TV?

This adminstration wants to take the realism out of the war and hide the awful truth, that Dubya is murdering our youth.

Who would want to watch a funeral on tv

nobody would want to watch a funeral. No body wants to see pictures of Aushwitz either but it is a reality and needs to be shown.

Nobody is trying to hide anything ALL you morons. The same reason you don't see 700 dead Iraqis on TV.

I believe dead Iraqi's will always out number Americans, lol.

ALL YOU ANTI AMERICAN'S can sit on it. Quit trying to dream up some stupid lies.

A military contractor has fired Tami Silicio, a Kuwait-based cargo worker whose photograph of flag-draped coffins of fallen U.S. soldiers was published in Sunday's edition of The Seattle Times.

Silicio was let go yesterday for violating U.S. government and company regulations, said William Silva, president of Maytag Aircraft, the contractor that employed Silicio at Kuwait International Airport.

The Bush Administration does not allow coverage or photos of the soldiers remains coming home, because it will turn PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST THE WAR, like it did with Vietnam.

duckhead, your right people in Iraq are dying both US and Iraqis, however the US is winning, period.

So take your lameass and join the Iraqi's so you can meet your maker.

As far as lies, lets start with all the spin people are trying to put on the facts in Iraq.

The bottom line is stupid people need guidance including gun carrying arabs, misled democrats, and yourself. So put your leash on so I can jerk on it punk.

The facts in Iraq are that the USA invaded the country on the pretense of WMDs. There were no WMDs. Then the pretense was to get rid of a brutal dictator, Saddam, whom the US had befriended over the last 25 years of his brutal regime when he was the enemy of Iran. Later, the pretense was to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq, who doesn't seem to want the American version of freedom and democracy - especially when Iraqis are still fighting 60% unemployment, lack of clean water and electricity, continuing insecurity, mounting civilian deaths, the threat of civil war, and this a year after the start of the American occupation. That over 700 American soldiers died for this makes no sense, which is why the media is not allowed to publicly show the war dead and their coffins. Those are the facts.

The US is winninggn what triple777? What are we winning? Again, just like the comments on all your other comments on other ballots, you speak but say nothing. Pull your mom's old wrinkled, veiney tit from your mouth, read a newspaper, watch something other then Fox news and try to form your own opinions.

Duckhead, pull out your daddys and quit believing everything you read and watch you liberal maggot.

triple777, are you serious, can you not think for yourself? Your last shot at me sounded just like the one I said to you, you unoriginal chunk of smegma
by Duckhead on Fri May 28, 04 5:44pm [+]

by LRonCupboard on Wed Jul 21, 04 8:57pm [+]
