My opinion on the Coffin issue
I toiled if I would put the posting here or over on my normal blog. I felt it was more military in nature than politics so I have posted it there.
If you would like to see why support the new policy allowing media access to coffins coming home (with rules and guidelines), then head over to http://blog.bouhammer.com/2009/02/america-see-the-coffins/ and read my post. There is a poll at the end to be part of after reading the post.

I am outraged over this. As a military spouse I believe our fallen deserve the utmost respect. Not to be photographed for political gain, and lets call the white elephant in the room exactly what it is, a political gain. People on the left want to use these images to further their agenda, to tug at the heart strings of the American public. I sent Gates an email over this, and from what I have seen on other blogs others did the same. Apparently he will foresake what the military members and families feel for what the left wants. This is truly disturbing.
