So, I ask you straightforward, in your opinion...should images from the war zone be used for political purposes (either in support for or against)?

Sorry if you don’t get that.

Terrig, you never mentioned who the “you” is in your sentence.

I don’t know if it would make any difference.

That's my opinion. I am aware of the fact that many get pleasure out of their deaths (little girly man being one of them). Personally, if my husband gets killed I don't want the press there. I don't want him to use his death in their anti war slanted reporting. When we were at Arlington for the funeral of one of our groomsmen the press was there. The report that came out though was not what the family wanted, they were disappointed. This was in 05 when everything was supposed to be good. So in my opinion I don't think that most Americans care one way or another as long as it doesn't involve them personally.
