It's Grrrrrreat!- April 23, 2004 So the Pentagon's mad because photos of flag-draped coffins are circulating and made it to the front page of a major newspaper. They have regulations against this see...It's important not to humanize the war. We should NEVER remember that it's a war...where people get killed and end up in coffins.
