32. Yes, I don't think I said anything that disagrees with that.

And so what.

I *want* the press to cover each and every death. Especially from
Iraq. The more coverage, no matter what patriotic emotions of
the moment when the coverage occurs, over the long run seeps into
the soul of every person... we will lose the national will to
sustain the war effort and withdraw... and after 20 years go by,
maybe make peace with the region again.

So if they make a big production out of Tillman, that's great.
And let's restart the draft too... with no deferments or exemptions.

As long as this is a war of numbers (5 nameless mostly minority or
people of disadvantaged economic background soldiers died today in
what was described as a blah blah blah)... the good folks (I hate
the term sheeple) here in the US will continue to support the war
that * created. If its a war of pictures and stories and family
interviews and folks from the country club having to go to the funeral
of a members son or daughter... then there will not be this war.
