They both list the killed. True, they both do.

They both refer to soldiers as heroes. False. Go read the introduction to CNN's list, and put it together with their politics. It's nothing but a bald-faced way to smear the Heroes and our President.

I've read CNN's introduction. I also see "Heroes of War" over on the left. They do refer to soldiers as heroes.

If CNN didn't have a list of killed soldiers, someone would probably complain that CNN's politics, combined with the absence of acknowledgement that soldiers were giving their lives for the cause was a smear.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike CNN. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with publishing a list of those killed in service. I don't see that they've done it in a distasteful way.

I don't think they should be forgotten in death. Those who knew them won't forget them, and we shouldn't either.
