STOP TELLING ME HOW TO FEEL By Cori Dauber Ranting Profs 60 Minutes takes eleven minutes to run the photographs of each of the roughly 800 American military members who've died in Iraq. (It looked to me to be in order of their deaths.) As classical music played, of course. It's cheap sentimentalism, and it's emotionally manipulative, and I am sick and tired of media elites telling me how to feel. I know how I feel -- and my feelings are my own. And if anyone would like to give them credit for this Memorial Day gesture, then please answer this question: roughly one hundred have died in service to their country in Afghanistan. Why is their service so much less deserving of commemoration? When did we start only honoring those who died in the controversial wars?
