I promise you the American public will morn the loss of a veteran as much as they would the loss of a celebrity...It is the press who decide what you read in the news, do not let the media dehumanize your perception.It's not our place to judge or ridicule.
I going to invoke upon myself the 'wait 24 hours' to respond rule, especially to your law enforcement comment.
