The reporting of war dead and distribution of images like that shouldn't be banned. Powerful images make you think. And no matter what side of the debate you're on, I think we can agree, this country could use a little more thought to go along with it's great debates.

How is showing the coffin of a veteran in any way disrespectful?

The news media used coffin shots in the 60s to buttress their opposition to the war. Decent and honorable depictions are good but the media has been known to stray from that.

God bless the families of the war dead. Our hearts are with you.
