Reply #10: You misunderstand my thoughts

I have no doubt that family and friends of those who have died mourn them sincerly. I also think that some politicians do as well.

It's just that because the dead are almost faceless in your media it doesn't show the real cost of the war in Iraq. If your evening news had a 3-5 minute piece on every soldier who died, people (more people) would be marching in the streets to demand an end to the war.

If every loss of life was recognized by a moment of silence in Congress, there would be more members demanding that the troops be withdrawn.

Pictures of each flag-covered coffin that came home would have an impact. There is a reason these pictures are not seen.
