The war in the Middle east has been debated for a long time, and many people aren't even thinking about the fact that soldiers are dying so they can complain about what they think is right. This is a silent form of hooring these fallen men and women, possibly even a blessing in disguise. The respect this has shown their families is massive; the ability to mourn without being bombarded by the media is what these people need. A story can be covered without getting into peoples faces and exploiting their personal business. This is a very smart move and I am very astounded by this group's nobility.
