I remember when some of the photos of U.S. Military members returning home in flag-draped coffins were released. I posted some of them here, back in the days when I was on DU as "Amerigo Vespucci." Like most people who saw the photos, I was initially angered and then deeply saddened. And now, for the conservatives to be rallying around Bush as a poster child for America-lovin' ex Presidents, is beyond all reason to me.
