What business is it of yours? Do you get off seeing media shots of our dead soldiers? Frankly its none of your God damn business. Ever think that the soldiers families preferred a little privacy to grieve? Just because ABC News doesn't provide you with photos of flag-draped coffins doesn't mean these brave men and women were not honored.

Maybe you should do a litle research on this issue before you go running your mouth. It goes back to Vietnam. The images of caskets coming home was a big sticking point in what many thought was an unjust war. Bush has told lie after lie about Iraq not limited to how much money is being spent there. If we watched footage of these men and women's coffins coming home, it would give us a more accurate idea of the human loose involved. His bold statement of "mission accomplished" would have meant even less then it did.

That incident happened in 2003. He's still a professor at that university.
