The Pentagon's 18-year ban on media covering the return of fallen U.S. service members to the Dover mortuary ended Sunday with the return of an Air Force staff sergeant killed in Afghanistan. An Army specialist killed in Iraq was returned Tuesday and the press was allowed to watch.
The new Pentagon policy gives families of deceased troops the right to decide on media coverage. Of the four families who have been given the option under the new policy, three have consented to coverage, military officials said.
so, four soldiers dead just since Sunday. end this war!! :cry:
