While the current Administration has certainly been active in limiting disturbing images in the media, they are not acting alone. The American Press actively censors themselves when it comes to disturbing images, and they have done so for a very long time.
I believe that both parties are wrong. If we are going to war, then part of the price that our society must face is to confront the consequences of our actions.
I believe that this war was fully and morally justified, but when we restrict public discourse in the name of fighting for freedom, we become our own worst enemy.
