To be seen or to keep private-That is the question: Pentagon Allows Coverage of War Coffins

CNN Official Breaking News: Pentagon Allows Coverage of War Coffins

What do I think? Well honestly, I'm on the fence, but more towards the allowance of seeing coffins.

Why? Well, I understand the hardship of seeing that for the families who are affected by it. I understand very well that seeing your son's/daughter's/mother's/father's etc. coffin on TV or being there while the media is filming may be a problem. You want your privacy, you don't want others to see your grief, so on and so forth.

On the same token, I think showing coffins is a good thing.
Why, you may ask? Well, maybe we will end wars sooner.
I'm not saying it's a guaranteed thing, but the problem with today's society is that we are hooked on these "reality" shows and other nonsense, yet we know nothing about what is going on in the world. I think if we show more caskets, we are less likely to go to war, or would propose that we end the war sooner. I think it would give a reality check that war is not the answer, ever. Should we go after people who attack us, yes. Should we be intentionally or unintentionally killing others, including our own? No.

More over, I think if politicians saw caskets on TV everyday, they would think twice before signing that paper.
