Let's see. Are they going to honor those who were killed in accidents? No. Are they going to honor those killed in Afghanistan? No. Are they going to honor those killed in training accidents stateside? No.
JUST those KIA in Iraq, and also, THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IT ON THE JUMBOTRON IN TIMES SQUARE.
If I were the survivor of one who had fallen, I would have a retraining order filed so fast that their attorneys wouldn't know what to do. This is crass.
WHO is going to watch this? I doubt many relatives will. It is simply a propoganda ploy. Bah!
Oh, and I will bet that they play mournful dirge music, rather than anything patriotic.
