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.

Most definitely. Don't let the media tell you who the American public mourns. Mourning is a personal and private act. This story is not over. There is more to it.
