The more I think about it, the more it seems like disrespect. If one of my family members died in Iraq I'd want the world to see it. Not to say how bad the war is, but so that others could maybe understand the sacrifice. The nation should be honoring our dead, not hiding them. I also wouldn't want a public ceremony to be made into a spectacle by people with an axe to grind. That would be equally disrespectful. Hmm...
But you know, I'm not in that position, so maybe I'd feel different if it actually happened.
I guess to go off topic myself, since they're hiding the dead, it makes me wonder what else they're hiding.
