Air Force probes casket photo

[NFERGY 2011 RJT]

From MSN, picture taken back in 08/2011.WTF are they thinking and why!!!

[CamaroSkooter]

I'm guessing (and partly hoping) that the guy in the casket isn't actually dead.

But regardless, it's a pretty tasteless picture...

[NFERGY 2011 RJT]

Nope he is not dead,the story is on MSN.com

people who face death daily like that deal with it in strage ways, no one should judge.


If you want to get your feathers ruffled, make freinds with someone who works in a morgue and listen to the stories they have to tell.

The picture was taken at Fort Lee in Virginia,not in a war zone

I agree with you sometimes in those situations you deal with stress and death by making fun of it. I wouldn't be too judgemental until you've walked in those boots.

I had an NCO that you used to tell me, "...Sir, we are not always paid for what we do, but for what we might have to do." and don't get me wrong although I understand, I would probably "counsel" them on this type of behavior.

It's a harmless photo. A bit tacky? Sure. But most military photos are (hell in mine in Iraq I'm making my EOD Robot look important!).

They're not depicting Iraqis or Afghanis, there's no flag draped over the coffin to dishonor Americans.

Let the chain of command deal with it...

let me see walk in there shoes,how about 22 years in the military,to include Iraq, so i have been in those shoes

More political correctness.

Do we not remember some of the Vietnam, Korea and WWII pics that were taken?

I, for one, am surprised more pics like this don't pop up. I got no problem with the pic.

Not sure what they were going for but I don't get it.

When I was a Company Commander, I treated my soldiers as adults and expected them to act that way, but I'd tell them, if they screwed up, they might as well head on down to clothing sales and get one lighter, 'cause they were going to need it. "Tryin' Not to Get One Lighter Sir" was the unofficial company motto. I am happy to say, I never had to reduce anyone, and not because of me or the threat but because my NCOs took care of NCO business. HOOAH!
