> Hiding Our War Dead. Italy Publicly Honors Its War Dead, America Hides Its Dead

President Bush cannot attend the funeral of every soldier we have lost because of sheer number. The people you forget to ask the opinion of is the soldier itself. You choose not to understand that the majority of soldiers(not all I understand) but the majority support this war and the president and fight bravely and do not need pomp and circumstance to understand how honored they are. Personally speaking, my husband, stationed in Iraq as I write, would not like all that attention. Its not who he is. He is a quiet hero. He fights for the cause not the glory. After all isnt that more important?
