1. The turning point in Vietnam was the photos and film footage...

The American populace needs to be hammered with these photos and film...of the Iraq debacle...our dead soldiars...our wounded soldiars..our PSTD soldiars....

And of Katrina....the missing...the dead...the forgotten..

We need to keep hammering away....this is the cost of their plunderring of our military resources, our countries infrastructure....the countries very existence!!!

Power to the American People!! Put the criminals in jail!!

:patriot:

[upi402]

7. Yep, I remember. That's why the cons repressed pics so much

BUMP THIS SUCKER!

[OneBlueSky]

29. anyone remember the Life Magazine issue that had . . .

page after page after page of photos of GIs who had been killed THAT WEEK? . . . lots and lots of pages -- virtually the whole News section -- with scores of photos on each page . . .

that single issue of Life did more to bring the war home than almost anything . . . I still have a copy, somewhere . . .

[CrazyOrangeCat]

2. It is vitally important that . . .

. . . everyone see these photos.

And that is the rub. Because Joe Nascar will never even see it.

[MadMaddie]

5. Joe Nascar will see it and feel it ...

If * goes to war with Iran..There will be a draft...Iran will attack Iraq and decimate our soldiars and we have no backup for those soldiars....

This will be their reality check....

[CrazyOrangeCat]

12. Hell of a reality check . . . but you're right.

[natrat]

3. wow that is one of the most compelling photos i've ever seen nt

[MelissaB]

4. They are all amazing!

:kick:

[upi402]

6. libs support the troops, cons use them

i hate all conservatives now


hate, the white hot variety

[formactv]

33. Support the Troops is meaningless

but it has managed to muzzle opposition for 15 years.

[LynnTheDem]

8. Am watching my world newsfeeds for Iraq Coalition Casualties Count

And ya know, I just don't feel much like laughing.

[leftchick]

35. I don't blame you

It is never ending isn't it? :cry:

[LynnTheDem]

36. Every damn day...dead, wounded, suicides; and every damn day

another atrocity committed by the USA.

To every American, every one of them, who ever EVER supported bush's bullshit invasions;
YOU BETRAYED YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN & WOMEN, AND YOUR COUNTRY.

Every motherfucking one of them need to get their fucking asses down to the nearest hospital full of the "wounded" and see exactly what the hell "wounded" looks like. Men & women, some so young they're not even legal to drink, and they're hunks of fucking RAW MEAT.

So hideously injured, medical science had to come up with a new word for their injuries. Gee bush, maybe you'll get that added to your credit in history; new scientific word invented for the living raw meat you created with your lies you fucking son of a bitch.

Rot in hell, George W Bush.

9. holy mother of GOD that is a CIVILIAN FLIGHT!

[madrchsod]

13. yes it was

several weeks ago there was a big story on the shipping of bodies as cargo on civilian planes.

[helderheid]

16. this infuriates me. CARGO??? Way to honor our soldiers and support the

troops.
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[upi402]

21. CARGO! Yep, it came out last years and I was furious too

cons use the troops, we support them

[flyarm]

22. american airlines.......n/t

[av8rdave]

25. I agree...bump the photos. However, in all fairness...

We carry human remains on a regular basis. Unfortunately, they are REQUIRED to be carried in the cargo bins. We do not get a choice on this. As the photo shows, military remains have escorts on hand both at departure and arrival.

The ones not shipped in the cargo bins of commercial flights are shipped aboard military CARGO aircraft. This is how it always has been handled.

Think back to administrations that allowed photos and actually sometimes had officials (including POTUS) meet remains coming from overseas. They always arrived in military CARGO airplanes.

10. Cheney pulled the trigger. I hope he can't sleep at night. Nightmares!

Endless nightmares! For the rest of his life.

RECOMMENDED

[Katherine Brengle]

11. i didn't even know what i was looking at at first, and then i almost threw

up...

Good post though...

[Lifelong Protester]

14. These photos need to be front and center

daily. Help us all steel our resolve to end this, and hopefully (I know this is out there) make a few folks change their gung-ho attitude about Iraq... before we get into another debacle in Iran.

[Katherine Brengle]

19. amen. n/t

[buddysmellgood]

[malaise]

31. Amazing photos indeed n/t

[stellanoir]

17. Incredibly moving photos

[Melissa G]

18. If you look at all 24 pics most are an indictment of the failures

of the responses of the current MIS administration

[ray of light]

20. I agree! That Cheney stuff is a distraction.

[roguevalley]

23. horrifying isn't it. the care the soldiers are giving him is touching.

sure won't get it from bush and criminals.

[soup]

24. Final Salute

I've read it before, but this 12 page special report which opens with the picture in your original post still sucks the breath right out of me.

>When the plane landed in Nevada, the pilot asked the passengers to remain seated while Conley disembarked alone. Then the pilot told them why.

The passengers pressed their faces against the windows. Outside, a procession walked toward the plane. Passengers in window seats leaned back to give others a better view. One held a child up to watch.

From their seats in the plane, they saw a hearse and a Marine extending a white-gloved hand into a limousine, helping a pregnant woman out of the car.

On the tarmac, Katherine Cathey wrapped her arm around the major's, steadying herself. Then her eyes locked on the cargo hold and the flag-draped casket.

Inside the plane, they couldn't hear the screams.<

27. Yes You're absolutely right but...

first of all, the majority of this country is a three second sound bite nation, not to mention something scandolous like this gets their attention. In addition, there are some niggling problems about this incident that could explode for them such as, was alcohol involved, is Cheney using a resident permit? What a reckless endagerment charge or even an involuntary assault charge? Why did the WH wait 24 hours to release this (they crucified Ted Kennedy for that!) and most of all, what REALLY happened? Did the poor guy say something to piss old Dick off and he blew his trigger? Time to find out!

[upi402]

28. kick, hope it makes it to Monday...

[soup]

30. It will.
