VT and the Deaths of our Soldiers

This article is being sensationalized by some in the Press as an attack by a soldier on the memory of those who died at Virginia Tech. But if you read the article in depth, it is really questioning whether we have become inured to the deaths of those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The whole nation stops for the deaths of the victims at VT - and rightly so - but it barely shrugs when roadside bombs or suicide bombers or insurgent attacks claim the same number of lives. Of course, soldiers choose a life which faces death, while college students do not. But maybe we do need to be a little more mindful even so.
