Those are AMERICAN soldiers, and thus you cannot accurately describe them as "OURS". You should describe them to the rest of us in the future as "yours"...

Sad that the headline didn't mention that one of our soldiers died.

I'm afraid its becoming all too commonplace. Besides, thirteen sounds a lot more dramatic than one.

<<Sad that the headline didn't mention that one of our soldiers died.>>

You mean its really not right to lump a brave American in with the worthless untermenschen, right? I suspect the media are beginning to feel that there is a degree of racism in emphasizing American dead over innocent Iraqi and other nations dead. I certainly think so.

Since you're making a relative value judgement, can you put a number to it? Is 1 dead American more important than 100 dead Iraqis? A million?
