Propaganda!
This is just another kitschy piece of propaganda! And I´m truely sorry for the guy and his family, they used his death for this.
shareThe author of the original message has obviously NEVER served his/her country in ANY capacity. I spent 26 proud years in USAF and I am saddened that any American would be so uncaring as to voice such opinions. By providing escort services as depicted in the film, we as a nation are giving our final farewell to a fallen service member.
shareOh I get the OP, unfortunately. He is someone who obviously was one of those people who agreed with George Bush when he decided not to let people see all of those dead soldiers coming in at Dover Airport because he knew that was what turned the tied against the Vietnam War in this country. That is the reaon Bush stopped it. He knew how the public would react.
During Vietnam they started to show the body bags coming in on the planes in Dover and people were so affected by it that people who were previously supportive of the war turned against it. Looking at this movie you can see why. And this is just one person.
Night after night on the news we would see teenagers and other young men being unloaded form Vietnam at Dover. The OP knew how powerful this movie is and that is why he called it propaganda. I say Obama should reverse the policy Bush starter and people will see how fast all of men and women are pulled out of Afghanistan, Iraq and all other places we are fighting.
