Showing the death of a serviceman is no more or less traumatic than showing the death of a teenager in a car crash. Showing it BEFORE NOK have been informed is another matter.

Well do I remember the pretty horrific news reports after Sir Galahad which must have been just as bad for families but if it educates people and politicians of the consequences of sending blokes off to war, then it serves its purpose.
