What World War I's Greatest Poet Would Say About Hiding Our War Dead

"A revered figure in England, Owen found a large American following during the Vietnam War. He is often portrayed as antiwar, which he was not. What he stood for was seeing war clearly, which makes him especially relevant today. The Bush administration has been loudly attacking the news media for misreporting the Iraq conflict by leaving out good news. Owen would counter — in vivid, gripping images — that it is the White House, with its campaign to hide casualties from view, that is dangerously distorting reality."

BTW, I was born on a US Navy base in Virginia while my dad from Texas was serving in the Navy after having signed up during WWII. My dad is the sixth generation of our family buried in the family cemetery in Texas which is also a Texas state monument with a big bronze Texas star on the highway out front telling the story of how we helped settle Texas. What's your next feeble attempt to attack me lil'Laz???
