1. Posting FIVE separate OPs in GD regarding soldiers within 15 minutes is a bit over the top. n/t

2. I'm sorry, should I post something about the latest TV show instead?

Have not seen any of this info posted of late, but hey, I won't bother you anymore tonight with posts about soldiers dying.

5. Not at all. As long as soldiers are dying and killing, it should be

a topic that gets much more attention. The more the better.

8. I disagree

Often times they are not mentioned at all. I also check them to see if it is someone I knew or know.

I'd like to see some stories on TCN deaths or injuries but the media treats them like they don't exist.

3. Good to remind people of the sacrifices our military men and women

have made since these wars started.

6. Thanks for reminding us. I was just thinking a couple days

ago I haven't seen any deaths reported on the news for months, it's like nobody is even there anymore.

10. Chances are, you won't see the deaths reported - they have become routine

Except for those who have loved ones in harms ways.

11. That was the Big Thing I wanted to see change.

Almost 6,000 dead and 43,000 wounded for a lie.

12. Thanks for posting....

This seems to be a topic that isn't brought up all that often.
