[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, changing the topic here. My minority opinion:  I hate ambush returning servicemember videos involving young children and their mom or dad.  I think they are exploitative.

that's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. What should the servicemember's dc do instead? Shake their hand?  :roll:  [/quote]
Not the PP - but this is what I think she is talking about:

Life is not a reality TV.[/quote]

I still don't understand why a dc can't show emotion when their father returns from a war or why it is exploitive [/quote]

Making it a show for everyone to see and posting it everywhere is the distasteful and exploitative part of it.  Nothing is private anymore, and everything becomes "look at me".  Nobody asks the children how they feel about having their (private) emotions broadcast and put on the internet.[/quote]

Yes, exactly.  The kids seem stunned, then confused, then, inevitably joyful, but I don't think it needs to be filmed and uploaded for entertainment.  It's all very narcissistic and I can't help but think of those kids whose parents return from war in a body bag.

I have the same feeling about big, public marriage proposals.  I would have said no if my husband had tried that.[/quote]
