The people who are most upset by these photographs are those who have never put themselves in harm's way and who have never experienced the feeling of having an enemy actively trying to kill them, people who never have and never will stand up to fight, physically, for what is right. People who live blissfully in an insulated little bubble of safety and security which since the dawn of time has been provided with the blood of servicemen. Under these circumstances I am really struggling to give a toss about the faux outrage Islington liberals spluttering into their lattes over photos of morbid reality.
Certainly it would be more convenient for many if such photos didn't exist. However maybe a glimpse of the reality of armed conflict is a helpful reminder to government and population alike. The modern trend for servicemen putting their lives on the line for this country is die if you lose, get prosecuted if you win.
