it's what happens when tragedies reach the level of mere statistics.

2. I thought it was just a hard landing or a sand storm or something

That is what our military and media always say.

3. surprisingly

they have actually admitted it was shot down! And within 24 hours. I suspect that perhaps the military spokes people are getting sick of the death too.

4. This happened with VietNam. It just becomes part of the daily hum.

Sad isn't it. Especially if it was your child.

6. anyone's sons and daughters

And the ones who are running things are profiting off the blood of our brave soldiers. That by itself is criminal in my book.

5. The corporate media is afraid of aiding the enemy by reporting bad news.
