Flag Covered Caskets!

I was just reading that a 18 year ban on news coverage of our war dead could be lifted. The man behind this is Defense Secretary Robert Gates and President Obama. The new policy will give the families the choice to let the press snap the photo’s or not. If the families say it’s ok for the press to take photo’s this will admit the press to the ceremonies at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. This is the entry point that all of our war dead pass through. I’m not 100 percent this is really a good idea, you can never really trust the press. I think by letting the press in will only spark anger, which can go either way. The main focus is to respect our war dead with the most respect we can. And letting the press in isn’t the best way.
