Gates Considers Lifting Ban on Coffin Photos

It’s kind of difficult to have coffin photos when there aren’t coffins to photograph. The war is over in Iraq. We won. There are still casualties but they’re more likely from car accidents than car bombs.

The war in Afghanistan is still on, and troops still die in combat, but the numbers are hardly registering with the public even with the media morbidity over troop deaths and grim milestones.

It is, however, yet another attempt to undermine support for the military and when combined with the latest idiocy to reinstate the draft, it continues a longstanding tradition by the left to cut the legs out from under the US military.
