Is it acceptable for the RNC to use American soldiers coffins in their advertising?
If they're not trying to insult the memories of fallen soldiers to raise money, they're doing it to get votes...but does it really matter?

In a country as free as the USA one can do almost anything; however, using draped coffins is in VERY bad taste and stupid.
This is bad campaigning.

It is never okay to use flag draped coffins for anything except internment for the person who died.

When using the pictures in an ad supporting the very party that got them senselessly killed? No.

no, it's not. It cheapens the honour of the US troops by dragging them down for political pointscoring.

How about the "Time" magazine trying to make the biggest sob story of them all?
