Would you be okay with a picture of your bloody relative, lying in the road, being posted widely as an admonishment not to drink and drive?

This might almost work if the pictures of the soldiers were pictures of their dead bodies lying in the streets and deserts of Iraq. They weren't, so this example is pointless. The pictures look to be "official" type photographs taken of the soldiers while not at war and probably here in the States.
Were you to change your picture of a "bloody relative, lying in the road" to say a school photo or other such thing you would make a more compelling argument. As it is you're merely trying to incite emotive responses from people. You failed.
