Regardless of the politicization of our current occupation of Afghanistan, the picture should not show cross-shaped headstones as our servicemen and servicewomen are members of all faiths, and some are not members of any. The stones at Arlington, for example, are rectangular with a rounded top. Why does the comic show only one with that shape? The cross-only photo in the comments only serves to perpetuate the myth that the cross is the only symbol that denotes a burial site.
