No. You really need to show every family ] what your men and women are going through. That's ] important because the families [of dead soldiers] are ] going to be the only ones who see those gruesome images ] when they get the bodies. How about the rest of the ] American population? How are they going to appreciate ] their sacrifices? . . . If you leave it to politicians, ] you won't see anything." I like Al-Jazeera.. They piss off _everyone_.. |
