What really pisses me off about the liberals and the media is that the deaths you describe are never aknowledged during peacetime, but with the war on in Iraq, they're counting all the non-combat deaths. The number the media uses is 33% inflated. I don't think the guy who got cancer and was evacuated to Rota Spain and then died wants his death used against his comrades.

The military is inherently dangerous and what they do to be ready kills people on a routine basis, yet you can never get a second of time on CNN or a drop of ink from the Washington Post about it.

"The military is inherently dangerous and what they do to be ready kills people on a routine basis, yet you can never get a second of time on CNN or a drop of ink from the Washington Post about it."

Sure you can. When they are trying to undermine the military, or it's training methods, or preparations. The media gleefully chirps about things that they think they can use to reduce the effectiveness of the military.

But you're right. Accidents that happen, things that can't be avoided or accounted for. Not a peep about that.

I often think of how many soldiers would be killed just in routine ops in peacetime.
