Breaking - Pentagon Surrenders War Dead To The Socialist Propaganda Machine
Do the sycophantic MSM and Obama supporters REALLY want to go here?
I mean, these are really no longer “Bush’s wars” … Military coffins returning home now are and will be on Obama’s watch … HE will be completely and totally responsible for how both wars are being carried out.
And I don’t give two fucks that these wars were started by George Bush.
NEVER did you hear Vietnam was JFK’s war … no, ask any dumb shit liberal kid today and they’ll tell you it was Nixon’s war … no clue who or what or when it started.

Officials: Pentagon to Allow Media Photos of Returning War Dead
The Pentagon is expected to allow some media coverage of returning war dead with approval from their families, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
News organizations will be allowed to photograph the homecomings of America’s war dead under a new Pentagon policy, defense and congressional officials said Thursday.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has decided to allow photos of flag-draped caskets at Dover Air Force Base, Del., if the families of the fallen troops agree, the officials told The Associated Press.
Gates planned to announce his decision later Thursday, they said. The current ban was put in place in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush.
At least two Democratic senators have called on President Barack Obama to let news photographers attend ceremonies at the air base and other military facilities when military remains are returned to the United States. The Dover base is where casualties are brought before they are transferred on to the hometowns of their families.
Gates told reporters earlier this month that he was reviewing the policy and that if the needs of the families could be met, and the privacy concerns could be addressed, he favored honoring fallen troops as much as possible.
Gates said he initially asked for the ban to be reviewed a year ago, and was advised then that family members might feel uncomfortable with opening the ceremonies to media for privacy reasons or that the relatives might feel pressure to attend the services despite financial stresses.
Shortly after Obama took office, Democratic Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey also asked the White House to roll back the 1991 ban.
Over the years, some exceptions to the policy were made, allowing the media to photograph coffins in some cases, until the administration of President George W. Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A leading military families group has said that the policy, enforced without exception during George W. Bush’s presidency, should be changed so that survivors of the dead can decide whether photographers can record their return.

Sorry, Dril, just read your report! I got mine “drilled” almost a year ago. Loved the drug they gave. Still…I keep dreaming about aliens abducting me ever since…
Very happy you are back.
Very pissed about the Pentagon.
Who allowed this to happen in the Pentagon? Sad. Is nothing sacred?
I don’t care if there is a stipulation that the families have to “allow” it … there will always be some Cindy “assface” Shehan (sp?) out there that will profit off the dead of their own family.
I don’t know. From what I’ve gotten in this they have to have the permission of the family in order to take the photographs. If the families want that. I do not see why they should be held back. My only hold up, is that once the media has the pictures, they’re theirs to use as they see fit, and we’ve seen the measures they’ve gone through in order to drill it into our heads that we lost in Iraq. Hell even today the majority of Americans either a) doesn’t care that we won b) won’t accept that we won or c) still bitches about the reasons we went to war, and uses that as an excuse to surrender.
Libtards love to parade the war dead to “enlighten” us about the horrors of war… yes, obviously war is horrible, but the dead deserve more respect than to be paraded for the ends of those like Sheehan et al
Not to minimize the war dead in any way, but one must ask, what is more horrible? - Try MILLIONS of dead from a terrorist nuke in a major city(s), because a war was not fought and no soldiers died to keep jihadi scum off of US soil. Sometimes wars must take place, because the alternative is FAR WORSE 
Does this mean I can photograph the funeral of the next Dem politician who has a relative die? All things being equal as Hussein claims he wants them to be…
You can bet your bottom dollar libs would scream bloody murder if a normal citizen’s casket was photographed for purely political reasons.
All you really need to know about this are the two Senators who wanted it…
Democratic Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey.
In a just world these two traitors would be sitting in Leavenworth for the rest of their sorry lives.
I DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS….I FEAR THAT IN 4 YEARS YOU WILL NOT EVEN KNOW AMERICA ANYMORE…SINCE THE PRESIDENT AND THE LIBERIALS FEEL IT IS OK FOR THE NEWS MEDIA TO HAVE THE PICTURES OF OUR FALLEN HEROS TO DO WITH AS THEY PLEASE…
AND THEY WILL….. HOW ABOUT SHOWING THE NEWS FOOTAGE OF 9/11…THE LIBERIALS SAY NO..IT IS TO HARD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SEE….MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF..THANK GOD EVERY DAY WE DO NOT HAVE LONG TO LIVE UNDER THIS TYPE OF ADMINISTRATION..THE YOUNGER AMERICANS ARE IN MY PRAYERS EVERY DAY…
I am NOT happpy about this-I hope ALL families refuse, and they have nothing to show.
The problem is not what our press will do with the photos, its what our enemies will do……use them for propaganda…this idea is ridiculous and dangerous…..
Good Bye Sweet America
