We all have opinions, about our ongoing wars abroad, even though, we have never really seen those wars. Our knowledge of war is limited to images of jet fighters and helicopters flying, aircraft carriers on the high seas, tanks and personnel carriers advancing, troops charging, troops deploying and troops returning home.
We don't see the images, of those unfortunate to be on the receiving end of our firepower? And neither, are we allowed to see our dead and injured?
How can we understand and have an informed opinion about war, if we never see the results of real war? How can we really know, how we really feel, if we never see the decapitated heads, torn limbs, burst open stomachs, crushed skulls, dead pregnant women, burnt or rotting bodies and the grief stricken victims?
Those in charge of informing us, tell us, the images are 'too sensitive' for viewers? The images are not suitable for 'familly' tv? Out of 'respect' for the dead and injured or their families, the images can't be shown?
Yet, those very same news networks, have no problem, enthusiastically showing us very graphic images from the Haiti quake? They don't think, the very graphic images from the quake are 'too sensitive' for viewers? Or that the very graphic images from the quake, are not suitable for 'family' tv? And they don't deny us the very graphic images from the quake, out of 'respect' for the dead and injured or their families?

Bro.. .that's the realest ish you could've said!
They have no problem at all showing off dead Israelites (haitians) after the quake (they did the same thing after katrina for the Israelites living in New Orleans) or showing disfigured children & what not...
But when it comes to their dead "soliders" or "troops" that's off limits to the viewing public....
All we get to see is a flag over a casket out of "respect" for the fallen & their family... GTFOH!!
In the end everybody will reap what they sow... That quake is only the beginning of what's in store for ALL not living according to the word of ? ...
People better wise up!
