Flags on coffins

1) What's the article about? Summarize it.
The article is about dead soldiers comming home with the flag drapped over their coffins, and all the contriversy about it. it also had some other military and political views in it
2) How does the story connect to our journalism class and journalism as a profession in general?
the families that lost their kid don't want everyone to see their children laying in a coffin so they dont want the reporters to take pictures of them.
3) What questions does the story leave you with after reading it? List at least two.
why was it banned in the first place?
why doesn't the military let everyone serve in the army instaead of a select few?

  1. I was wondering the same thing. I didn't know there was a ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military. Why is that?

  2. I'm not sure how relevant your second question is to the given issue, not that it isn't a good question. Actually, homosexuals in the military has been a revived topic in recent weeks. That discussion is currently taking place, apparently. I would like to see you elaborate on your responses more - pretty short...
