Nobody's asking you to pay him special attention; I certainly didn't.
But why won't you afford him the respect that you say is so lacking for your people?
You're railing against a system that is stacked against us by trying to imply that this man doesn't matter because he's not in the military.
They're not? All this coverage of his injury isn't asking me to pay special attention to Woodruff? How can you say that? How many other Americans have had this kind of attention paid to their injuries in Iraq?

I'm not asking to 'afford him the respect...lacking for your people'" I'm asking why he's being afforded MORE respect than anyone else.
Furthermore, since when did soldiers become "my" people and not "our" people. Since when does the same definition not apply to all Americans, including Woodruff AND Perez? What f___ing paper do you work for that a reporter gets more consideration as being an American than a soldier or any other American? How long have you been lurking here now that your bias against soldiers is finally leaking out?

I never said or implied any such thing. I questioned why his story is any more relevant than that of any other American in Iraq. Clearly it's your own bias that is at work here, not mine.
