73. Where did I say that?

Please quote me.

Tillman's case is simply more "newsworthy" because he DIDN'T sign up for the benefits, he signed up out of a sense of duty, and he gave up more than the others did to do so. He didn't HAVE to go, but went anyway.

When Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable signed up for WWII, they got more press than Joe Blow from Paducah, Ky, got. Had they been killed, the story would have been more newsworthy than the death of Joe Blow from Paducah, Ky.
