The Associated Press Has Gone To Far

Touche.

But I still say that the manner in which it is reported, must be sensitive and respectful of that life that was ended far from home. It won't make it any less tragic, but at least it will show compassion.

I sat in a class room and watched a 'school approved' film of a bulldozer pushing a stack of bodies into a trench at one of the "Konzentrationslager" us Americans liberated. TO THIS DAY that has always bothered me. I watch the Military Channel docus on concentration camps to see if I will catch that clip again.

I want to know if it was as gruesome then as it would be today.

This was way back in the day, so there were no concerned parents to complain about it. So, we watched it and held that horror deep inside our hearts.

How many people to you have to bury when you stop using shovels and start using diesel engined plows to shove them into the dirt and cover them?

Check it out.

The parents of today let these miserable little effers play violent video games- "the blood looks so real!!", yet we all have a problem with watching Private Everyone's Son get jacked with an RPG or an IED?

At the beginning of the book and movie "Blackhawk Down" is a quote from Plato that kinda goes....."Only the dead have seen the end of war."

All the rest of us can relive it on You Tube, the Inter Web and irresponsible media outlets like the AP and all the jackholes that contribute to The Huffingtones Post.

I've put in my 2 cents worth without offending anyone - I think.

And with that, I really don't have anything else to contribute - unless someone has something really stupid to say (IMO), then I just might have to chime back in.
