Well, I know of at least one that doesn't.

One was from Westwego - about 5 miles down the road.
And the guard didn't defy the Pentagon. The families requested that it be shown to remind people of the sacrifice this war requires.

Good for them, now the rest of the censor-mongers can STFU and start another thread.

If it were my relative, I'd want the whole world to know about them, too ~~RIP.~~

well, just so it is clear that my stance on the matter is that there is a pretty strong bias evident when applying these rules to others. if you were to read the threads, you would find that the insults are pretty much standard across the board and that the rules are obviously being bent in a certain direction.

which is fine.

but it is obvious.

I'm sorry, but what are they doing that is defying the Pentagon's orders?
Bringing bodies home???

Sorry if this seems dumb, I honestly don't know....it would seem that they are doing the normal (but all too frequent) and honourable thing to do during an armed conflict..that is, bringing the dead home.

~~To the Fallen, may they rest in peace.~~

they defied the pentagons orders to ban television and media coverage of the dead arriving home.

~~the pentagon has standing orders prohibiting the photographing of the returning dead or their coffins. It was said earlier that this was arranged by the family.~~

OK, thanks for clearing that up.

er .read the replies Blue..........OK, so it is just photographing or video taping the bodies returning home.
That seems reasonable.
