Government Censorship

The government censors many things all the time. They mainly censor things that show weaknesses in our country. For instance, you never see American caskets being carried out of a plan or truck. This is because it's demoralizing to the American citizens. Although the public doesn't want to see this it's important that they do so they can realize that this war is affecting us as well. The government also censored many things in the vietnam war such as our soldiers dying, coffins with American flags on them, and the horrible after effects of chemical weapons called Agent Orange. The government pretty much censors all the losses and bad things that happen to America. It mostly takes place during wars or acts of war such as 9/11. The government censors many things on the news and reports to protect the confidence of the people.
