First photo at Dover AFB
I saw the first picture of a fallen soldier (well, Airman in this case) arriving at Dover at about 6 AM. The picture I saw on Fox News was the same picture taken by an AP photgrapher that is at Blackfive – it seemed to intrude on the moment by the photographer’s proximity to the event. I wasn’t going to write about it and encourage AP’s apparent behavior.
But then, I found the real picture at The Washington Times and realized the photographer was further away than the first picture made it seem. This one;
AP cropped the detail in the one that I saw first thing this morning. If they can keep their distance, I suppose this is the best we can get.

Even thought Obama’s European vacation pulled USAF airlift out of the Afghanistan air bridge and our guys and gals were having their supplies hauled by contracted Russian aircraft.
Maybe if we ever go to war with Russians we can pay them to fight themselves?
Raoul, how is your point even remotely relevant to the post at hand?
jay,
Get stuffed. And not remotely.
Then try again.
The Air Force should try one of those old fashioned sleight of hands the services are so good at. “It’s ok to take the pictures, but hey your not allowed on base, so sorry. Yeah I don’t know where your pass paperwork is at. So sorry, next!”
How late was it in WWII when the press was allowed to print photos on the dead?
I fail to see any good purpose to printing photos of our returning heroes.
