Interest in photographing return of war dead to U.S. wanes
The remains of a service member are returned to Dover Air Force Base in October.
One year after the ban on photographing war dead returning to the U.S. was lifted, it is rare to see those images in the mainstream media.
Last April, the first images of a fallen service member's return were allowed by the Pentagon after more than 20 years. The ban was put in place by then-President George H.W. Bush but done away with by the Pentagon under the Obama administration.
In the first days after the ban was lifted, the media gave widespread coverage of the neatly choreographed procedure of removing a service member, killed just hours before in Iraq or Afghanistan, from a cargo aircraft to a waiting vehicle. -->-->-->
More important to give credence to a radical fringe movement, teabagging, who never even mention Iraq or Afghanistan!
Just think if the media had given the same credence, and listened, to a much Bigger movement of 'focus groups' who were speaking truth to the failed policies nine years ago!!!!!!!!
