cynical? maybe but using this kind of footage is nothing more than propoganda
 
Heart goes out to those kids whose fathers don't make it back --- that's reality!

Propoganda for what? The fact that maybe they shouldn't be there but signed up to the army and some don't come back? Or to make us feel sorry for them ? Im not sure what your'e getting at, either way I do feel for them.

I feel for them but I also feel for all the vets from other wars who can't get jobs, welfare or even basic "human rights".

Showing TV footage of "heroes" returning from an immoral and unjustified war purely to get the the public on side is what I meant by propoganda.

Every country does it but that doesn't make it any better

Fair comment. I get you now.
 
Staged or not, the little lads feelings were genuine!
