Their already doing it.  Look at what the media covered back in the 60s and 70s . The government will not allow media to take photos of arriving caskets from afghanistan or other wars.  You have to be politically correct these days no rebel flag. No nothing on tv its a joke. Racism will continue , our miltary men and women are being killed for what and the government wants to shut loudmouths up

News organizations will be allowed to photograph the homecomings of America's war dead under a new Pentagon policy, defense and congressional officials said Thursday.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has decided to allow photos of flag-draped caskets at Dover Air Force Base, Del., if the families of the fallen troops agree, the officials told The Associated Press.

The current ban was put in place in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush.
