I find it disrespectful to paste pictures of our dead soldiers on the internet. apparently you do not agree.

I posted the article verbatim with the tiny picture that accompanied it. I did not post any pictures to be sensational. I don't consider it disrepsectful. I have seen countless pictures of our dead and enemy dead from every conflict the US has been engaged in since the Civil War. Were those pictures disrespectful?

As I stated, I believe that it is disrespectful to post pictures of coalition troops on the internet - that belief applies to this war and every war and every dead soldier.

Before some smart ass decides to try and throw in my face "what about Iraqi troops - is it disrespectful to put their pic on the internet?" ... yes I believe it is. to be honest - I don't really give a damn about Iraqi soldiers but they do still have families.

This is disrespectful especially to the dead soldiers and their families, but IMHO to their unit, and all coalition troops.

Like I said - this is MY OPINION - i don't support putting these pics out for public consumption - but you have a right to believe and do as you choose... that's what we're fighting for.
