1. I am sure the Freepers...

Hit these ones hard. They probably need something new to masturbate to, since details of The Big Dog's sex life have lost their lustre.

2. While I hold the opinion that the bodies...

should be shown, I also hold that pictures of ALL the casualties should be shown.

War is a horrid event. Most people have little idea what war is all about, and the more they see of it, hopefully, the less they'll be willing to start one. During the Civil War, people were horrified at the carnage brought home by photography. Prior to that, watercolors, sketches and flowery descriptions accompanied war news. Once people swas rotting bodies on the fields of battle, things began to change.

Every war this country has been in since, battlefield photographs and films have been cloesly momitored by the powers in charge. No one wants to see their child blown to bits on live TV. There was little censorship in showing the enemy dead; but American and it's Allies made it a point to avoid showing soldiers burnt to beyond recogniton,
dismembered, or decapitated.

The horrors of war should be shown to all. It may well be worth the present pain, to avoid future tragedies. ;(

4. "The horrors of war should be shown to all" EXCEPT children.

I don't think gruesome photos should be shown where children can easily see them and be traumatized by them.

5. True...

but on the other hand; if the children can see the horrors of war, (as many are personally experiencing that now firsthand), the future might, just might, be war free. The children are our hope for the future. Maybe they coulde stop the insanity in the future.

If there was a way to ensure that all kids would be innocent, I would all for it, but one of the great tragedies of war, is that the littles ones suffer in so many ways. They become maimed; orphaned; beggars for a few bits to eat........I have seen them, and I never want to see that again.
