So it has finally happened. Unfortunately, 2,000 US soldiers have died during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq in just over 2 1/2 years. A sad milestone, to be sure. It is too bad that the media and nutcases in the anti-war left are exploiting the memories and deaths of these soldiers for political gain.

Already, we are seeing the media playing up the sympathy and the tragedy angle. We're hearing stories about people who served in the war effort....their families, things they may have written or said before they went off to war. Unfortunately, the media isn't reporting all of this to be nice. They are using these families to further their own political views, which essentially go like this: George Bush lied about WMD and now he's killed their son (or daughter.) They use these stories as propaganda to stir up opposition to the war.

The fact is that we have an all-volunteer fighting force in this country for a reason. Everyone who signs up knows that there is the chance they could be deployed. And the vast, overwhelming majority of the service men and women serving in the war on terror believe in the mission. That is a fact that is not reported, because after all, it makes George Bush look good.

Can't have that, you know.
