Surely they should be treated as national heros with the nation mourning their loss.

Absolutely right, the nation should be given the chance to publicly acknowledge the return of the coffins and mourn. Instead, the corpses are spirited away under cover, as if their death is shameful and the by-product of a shameful war ... oh, hang on, I've worked it out. Yep, the gov. is ashamed of killing its servicemen in a war they should have never started.

There is no news blackout.... The media gleefully reports the dead daily. It is only those that wish to use our fallen heroes as a political bludgeon that is shameful.

The local newspaper & television station usally give the name out. I very seldom read the death section of the newspaper becase I am afraid I might be in there.

What purpose would it serve? Did we show all the caskets of fatalities in other wars?
