They didn't publish pictures like this, or (click on the thumbnails) these, or the first picture here, or the famous "Life" photos?
No -- in fact, the US military put a ban on publishing photos of US dead during WW2 to help keep up morale at home. Frankly, modern folks are too squeamish for the truth of war and killing -- unless you're a cop,or a firefighter, or an EMT, or a nurse, or in the military.
