Back during the Vietnam war images of coffins were shown on tv all the time… I’m not quite sure how I feel about this right now. Kind of like reshowing September 11. No one wants to deal with the reality and no family wants to relive the horror over again, however, by not showing it, it’s like it slips away and we don’t have to think about it. Like it never happened. Therefore, men and women that are risking their lives and dying but I’m not forced to rationalize it. I don’t have to think about hundreds of lives and what they are risking it for?
Why is there not a public outcry? Storming the capital and demanding answers…demanding evidence that the lives of their sons and daughters are not taken in vain. They are making a difference, the war is worth it, we are there for a reason…Should these images be shown? Be brought to the public and saying stand up and honor these men and women..be proud of the sacrifices they have made for you. For you to stand here and live your life…
Should the public see the reality of how dangerous it is…that war is serious and violence is something that needs to happen for our future? Is it really necessary for us to be there?? Would these images give us the answers or send us into a furry?
