I have not articulated one reason? Okay, I'll say it real slowly, so maybe this time you can catch it. The body in the ad was a person. Probably with a family. And if it was my brother under that flag, I wouldn't want his picture used in a campaign ad. It would disturb me to see that ad with a visual of his body being removed. And I would have no need to see that visual in order to remember what happened that day, or to form my views on what had to be done in response. In this case, since we don't know who it is, there are a few hundred families who may looking at their loved one's draped body in a campaign ad. And if you can't see why that is wrong - IF those families don't want to see their relative in that ad - then you will just never get it. And, as I stated too clearly for you to miss, if the admin wants to use a visual of removing one who would support the idea, whose family agrees to it, fine - have at it. If my daughter died in a car wreck, I wouldn't want to see it used on a trailer for the local news, either. If my dear friend now stationed in Babylon comes in contact with an IED, I don't want to see his wounds in an ad for CNN Presents. It is in bad taste.

Obviously.
Your complaint is without merit.
