God Rest His Soul.

Now lets move on. I'm sorry but the media tends to treat the death of one of their own in a distasteful and self-aggrandizing manner. I know this sounds cold. I really do feel for him and his family.

However, those troops out there are dying for ME. And YOU. Not to bring prize-winning pictures. For US. Poor Jessica Lynch's body was broken for US. Her fellows executed (crucified) for US.

It's just come home to me in a very personal way what these fine men and women are doing for me. It is a thing most wonderful.

I am in AWE at our young soldiers - they are so brave and have shown such acts of humanity in the midst of madness. God bless each and every one of them.

I think the reason the press sometimes goes overboard when it's one of their own is because they know each other. Much the same way I felt when I heard Barbara Olson was killed on 9/11 - it really hit home then. But I understand your point entirely.
