They made a huge mistake by allowing it to be videoed and shown on television.

The US Army long ago learned that there was *no* way for any photographs of dead people, friendly or enemy, to be aired without it having a negative effect on how people viewed the army.

So much so that the Quartermaster Corps, which is in charge of body recovery, has become masterful at clearing dead bodies from the sites of major battles before the press can take pictures. That is also why there was a strict prohibition on depicting flag draped coffins returning from the war in Iraq.

Remember the traumatic scene in the movie Saving Private Ryan, where a German soldier has pushed a knife into the chest of an American soldier, and is “shushing” him as he struggles to live while being killed?

This is what many in the public will see as this television show about euthanasia is aired.

While the pro-death types see it as beautiful and wonderful and peaceful, those thoughts exist only in their murderous minds. The typical normal person will be horrified.

It is called the Dover Effect - film footage of flag-draped coffins arriving at Dover.

It ALWAYS creates anti-war histaria, a’la Viet Nam.
