Was this Video Really necessary?

Thanks to Atlas

The Democratic Congressional Campaign committee's website now features a video of American troops in coffins, not to honor these brave men, but for political gain. The pic to the left is a frame grab from the video, the words "things have taken a turn for the worse" emblazoned across the screen while this photo and another of a lone soldier bowing his head in prayer at an apparent gravesite of one of his comrades.
It's one thing to oppose the war, but is it really necessary to exploit the dead?
