I realize this will come off as extremely cold, but is it just me or is there way too much worry about a single military death in TV coverage. How would TV cover something like the Battle of the Bulge today?

I would think the way TV has covered this battle that hundred of thousands were dead in Lebanon and tens of thousands were dead in Israel. I just think when armies go to war you should expect thousands of deaths and anything less is a miracle.

To follow up on this I have told my wife that all the Iraq war casualty counts amaze me. The way I look at it until we have 100X casualties that we had on 9/11, I think our military deaths are well worth it to ensure progress on war on terror. I guess I'm warped.
