I just think that those who died serving our nation deserve more than secrecy. <BR/><BR/>I understand the argument that in WWII, the flag would consistantly have been at half-staff, I understand all of that. And, I understand how odd it sounds to say that we should pick and choose our combat missions where we want to lower the flag. And I understand how it seems that these troops are more important than our troops in WWII because we are willing to lower the flag for them individually as opposed to one day. I get all of that. <BR/><BR/>But I feel that Harper and O'Connors move is politically motivated. Lowered flags and coffins remind people of the human toll involved with Afghanistan. I dont understand why Harper would do such a move, I thought that Canadians were behind the war in Afghanistan.Zachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312456253891615523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1145984090166114022006-04-25T12:54:00.000-04:002006-04-25T12:54:00.000-04:00Yes, I heard that too, Zac.

If everything is half-mast then nothing is half-mast.<BR/><BR/>Things are likely going to get ugly. More and more coffins are going to be coming home.
