Fallen Soldier Honor Guard at Austin Bergstrom Airport

Adam Curry describes witnessing a somber ceremony at the Austin airport where a fallen soldier's coffin was removed from a plane.

Curry notes that the mainstream media rarely televises these homecomings, which he argues is a deliberate choice to shield the public from the reality of war.
