Journalistic integrity? Leftist Fear Mongering? Disrespect for the Sacrifice?

All of the above - the AP has become a left-wing PR group. And I'l love to kick the ass of the media whores who decided to publish this against the explicit wishes of the family.

too many paperazzi like to take 'dying pictures' of people!

....taken by an embedded photographer
..something about that seems wrong to me, too.

This is beyond disgusting. I will never, willingly view this Marine's photo. A person can't even have the dignity of dying with some privacy. Double sympathy for his family.

Wow, look at all the self aggrandizement at the expense of a fallen soldier. You should be ashamed to use his death as a standing point for your petty politics. Claiming this tragedy as a talking point for your own political stance in order to point fingers is the lowest of lows.

Of course the parents wishes should be respected.

just anger at the disrespect shown to the family of one who sacrificed for the punks who pontificate about how they support the soldiers but not the war.
