I wanted to share this in General, but my statement/opinion below belongs here.

I watched this on PBS tonight. Really liked the documentary. Really am glad that people are out there doing this.

I always though i noticed something missing from the news. Something felt different about this war. The individuality in the statistics seemed to be missing. The show tonight specified what had been eating at my subconscious. This freaken administration outlawed the media from showing images of flag covered caskets!!! (and of dead Iraqis.) If you ask me there is so much emotion felt when one is shown. I honestly think it was to keep us numb. To keep us placid. Might get riled up if we see those images. Not that people don't try to stop the war... but i don't think you have as many. I myself feel so detached. I was about eight years old when i was watching the news on Desert Storm. I remember those images of death and sadness. I'm glad to know that i haven't grown cold; that the images just aren't there any more.
