Battle scenes yes, reporting yes, but not a pic of individual soldiers taking their last breath.
Where is the compassion for the American family?
They are the one's who should make such a decision.
I have 2 nephews serving, one just returned from Iraq the other fighting in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Neither i nor my brother and his family would want to see the last moments, God forbid, of either one under those circumstances. |

I think of the video of that beautiful young woman in Iran just after she was shot protesting and her internal injury erupted blood from her mouth. Wow, very difficult to watch.
I'm not sure what the right answer on this one it. I certainly see the argument that this is public information, yet also that out of respect for the family showing the images doesn't add a lot of value.
It sounds like these images are especially troubling. I think the fair play is to delay using them until the family has time to mourn, and then only use them as appropriate if it's necessary to tell an important story.

I respect them families honor to not publish a picture. However, just having a list in the paper of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice is not enought, IMHO. |

You would not like it if a family member of yours was shown dying any more then I would in a war or an accident on a city street. You can show the truth and the reality of war just from the destruction of buildings,military vechicles, bodies covered or in a fart sack, wounded in med-i-vac unit or military hospitals being rehabilitated from a missing body part and you can see it on a soldiers or Marines face after being in battle and shell shocked civilians

Maybe I missed it, but, your picture did not show anyone dying,but, the destructtion makes a point. |
