Whenever 120 Americans die whatever the reason, it should be big news,
whether it happens in one accident 120. The fact is accidental deaths,
since 9/11, in our military forces have far exceeded the number that have
died in the actual defense of our county over the same time period. If the
media could put the blame for those accidental deaths on the administration,
you can bet they would be on the front page or on the nightly news.

The front pages would not have been large enough and the nightly news not
long enough to report all of the deaths that occurred daily during WWII.
The profound difference is the fact the deaths in that war would not even
have been published daily so as not to hurt are war effort, as it is today..
