McSame Follows Bush Pattern of Hiding the Fallen Warrior

It seems that John McSame and the RNC are so afraid of acknowledging the genuine sacrifice of our armed forces in George Bush’s personal war, they won’t even show real soldiers honoring their own fallen brethren. Brandon Friedman writes at “VetVoice”

”For its "Pledge of Allegiance video" on Tuesday night, the Republican National Convention used stock footage of a staged military funeral, along with actors dressed as soldiers and sailors.” He cites a report from CBS News:

” It was a video that was supposed to elicit soaring patriotism and real emotions about the Pledge of Allegiance. But to do that, it used fake soldiers and a staged military funeral instead of the real thing.

CBS News found that the footage of the 'funeral' and soldiers is what is called 'stock' footage. The soldiers were actors and the funeral scene was from a one-day film shoot, produced in June. No real soldiers were used during production.”

I guess you might say that this is in keeping with the Bush Administration’s policy of hiding any images of real sacrifice from the American public – and just another example of how John McSame is bound to follow those same policies.
