The public should have the right to see whatever is going on, sadly they hide a lot of things from the American public.

People should see everything thats going on. uncensored

Yes, but it will never happen. During the Vietnam "Conflict" it stirred up a lot of people to actually go out on the streets and protest. They like us quiet and subservant.

as a prior marine, if i was injured and someone wanted to use me to make a statement id break their camera. the whole idea is morbid. theres better ways to report the news.

We should always have that right..unless the parents of that soldier just want to let him or her rest in peace. I think we should be respectful of soldiers!!!

Any news censoring is wrong. But no one forces me to watch.

I believe that the person with the dominant right in this situation is the wounded soldier himself. Second to that, his next of kin. If the wounded soldier is fine with it, then yes I believe that the public too have the right to see. Pictures of wounded soldiers are incredibly powerful, and have the ability to destroy public support for a campaign in a second, so it is no surprise that individuals in the military and government would rather hide them.
