Dead Marines Sell News According To AP

Under the guise of providing a public service to the American people the Associated Press decided to overrule the wishes of our Secretary of Defense and the Marine's father and publish a picture of Marine Bernie Bernard's death in Afghanistan. 

What do you expect from the media, sex sells and so does death. The Google Blog says this: "The fact the Associated Press chose to publish graphic and disturbing photographs of a young Marine killed in Afghanistan against the wishes of both the father of the Marine and the Secretary of Defense of The United States is not only appalling, and completely unconscionable it is without compassion and consideration to the effects it might have on the this man’s family. Privacy should be respected."

I agree with that statement, America does not need a refresher on the ravages of war, we have had enough of it with our last "TV War" in Vietnam.

Lance Corporal Joshua "Bernie" Bernard is our Marine of the Month with a photo as we would like to remember him.
