They're often contradictory beliefs: Many complain the American people don't act like a nation at war, but only until very recently the return of coffins from service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan (images that would remind the public of the cost of war) were off limits to reporters.

So when the bossman sent me a link to this story, I wanted to share it with y'all and hopefully get some input. Two reporters were on hand for the honoring of a fallen soldier at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Check it out.

Should the military allow reporters around for more events like these? Or does it overstep the line protecting privacy?
