Why are you ashamed of the photos of these soldiers who returned after
serving their country? It's okay to 'use' their photos when they were free from the effects of the wars they have fought in but it's 'using' them to give them recognition AFTER they return?
I am proud of those veterans and believe their service should be recognized, not hidden away from public view.
Why would you object to them getting the recognition they deserve? Why should they be hidden NOW, but not when they are all dressed up in their uniforms before they went to war?
I know Bush and Cheney will never pose with these soldiers, but that should not surprise anyone.
Most of those photos were posted by Veterans themselves.
Clearly they do not share this desire to keep them hidden, or this shame on their behalf.
