22. For those too young to remember |

During the Viet Nam war every night on the news there were pictures of the combat (filmed by real war journalists along side the troops). The images of the dead and injured being hauled away was seen as detrimental to the war "effort".
The right wing does not want a repeat of the protests that resulted from the tens of thousands of casualties seen by everyone at the dinner hour.
What they fail to realize is that horror unseen can be more costly to their blood lust campaign.
The shit hits the fan once they start the draft again.
