It has been reported that he is horrified about the sight of blood, and terrified of dead bodies as well.

Also that "losers and suckers" thing as he described US servicemen, he may regard the deceased as such, and he may also regard their deaths as "making him look bad" Recall what he said about McCain and heroes

That would be the reason he would not go.

I'm betting he wont go, and when pressed they will lie and said he did but no photos
