What Koppel did was to exploit the fallen heros in order to undermine the very cause for which they died. Koppel has acknowledged that his inspiration for this stunt was a similar Life Magazine piece which has been credited for playing a large role in turning public opinion against the Vietnam war.

The fact that Lefty Koppel did not include the names of those who fell in the Afghanistan Theater is proof of his intent, which is to turn public sentiment against the Iraq War, NOT to honor our brave fallen warriors. ABC has dishonored these brave souls for it's own despicable agenda. Shame on them.
