I don't have a problem with just the coffin and a picture, but invading the family's privacy during a time of grief is wrong.
One of the major channels, CBS I think, used to post pictures of our fallen soldiers at the end of their broadcast, but its not "big news" anymore and they stopped. I always watched and sent a silent thanks to each soldier.
As I said in my post, everyone on this forum has tasted the bitterness of grief and it is and should remain a private thing. We don't have to see the grief of the family of a fallen hero to know the cost of the war.
Freedom is not free. It has been purchased with the blood of men and women who were willing to do what was necessary to obtain it and preserve it.
I know that many disagree with the war, but that is NOT the point here. The point is respect for grieving families and their privacy and not allowing the media to turn such a personal, private time into a circus to advance a political opinion. As I also said in my response to Dave's post, I would be deeply offended and very, very angry if the media intruded on my family at such a time.
Regardless of your opinion about the war, the families and these fallen heroes need to be treated with the deepest respect and honor.
