I don't know.
In WWII, did the media film thousands of dead *every* day?
Was FDR subject to endless media attacks co ordinated with his political opponents, while tens of thousands of bodies poured in from the pacific theater?
Were the media to be an objective purveyor of the news, my feelings might be different, but they are little more than the PR arm of the DNC and with a distinctive Socialist flavor.
Christ, look at kerry running around the world, carping away to foreign leaders that the current administration is wrong.
Nah. A pox upon them. We all know the true costs of war.

I believe in World War 2 we buried the men where they fell.
Certainly we know when men die they must be buried and with apropriate ceremony.
The idea is not to hide the men from view it was to stop liberal news agencies from making asses of them selves every evening by showing coffins coming home, from using the dead for political BS.
