they are held to a higher standard, as well they should be. would you say the same thing about Lynndie England and the Abu Gharib photos?
I dont agree they should be held to a higher standard....just a regular military standard. If this was a pic at a funeral, sure id feel different. But it aint.
A staged photo shoot picture is vastly different than a picture of a war crime in progress. One is evidense and the other is a bunch of young soldiers being light hearted around a EMPTY PRACTICE coffin.
Surely you dont expect an honor gaurd soldier to put on a uber serious gameface at the mere sight of an empty coffin.
