No medals for the non-cadets or the gym teacher?

No.

Not from the military anyway.

Are the cadets going to get a military funeral too with a 21 gun salute?

At least one will be buried in his uniform.

We must honor them ALL as the students they were - at least until the dead have been buried and mourned.

Why?

Because you say so?

This is not a vapid sort of thing and it is something you do before the funeral so the person can be buried with their medal.

If this were an act of terror from outside groups I would be more inclined to agree with the medals and honors.

But this was not outside terrorism.

If one of these kids were in the Drama club, would they be getting Academy Awards or Tony’s?
