US press can't be bothered to discuss the death of any of our people in Iraq/Afghanistan.

Hockey Night in Canada just ended their intermission report with a 30 second segment about a Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan this week. His third tour.

Don Cherry talked about where the soldier was from, about his wife and 2 year old daughter who would never see him again.

During the national game in Canada, on the national channel, they talk about their fallen military like they're people. They don't hide them like our press does.

Go Canada.

1. Kicking
If we can have thread after thread when a celebrity dies with tons of replies, we can do the same for these people - because this is something we can do something about (ie, end the war).
