What you describe in Canada is neat...it has not happened here...the criticism is the press corps being dragged along for what was called a private moment and a clue should be that all but ONE family refused to participate ! They knew they were being used for a photo op.

Fact is...I said in MY post..."Actually , I would love to disagree with you and would have because saluting the fallen is a wonderful thing, but when I found out about the staging and making it a photo op that did it for me also !"

I cannot speak for any others but my instinct tells me that the CRITICISM that you dont understand is for making this into a photo op !
The Press and TV Cameras are present when the Canadian Soldiers are brought home. Some people are unable to be present for the ceremony and by reading or seeing the event on TV gives them a little chance to view and pay their respects in their own way. Not photo ops as you suggest.
