"Uh, yeah it does.  A poor person who joins the military to get money for college is a hero, but a  wealthy person who voluntarily gives up a lifelong dream to defend his fellow citizens is an even greater hero."

This is what I find down right offensive.

If you didn't think the piece was offensive, why were you so quick to jump up and condemn me?  You attacked my article before I had made any other posts on the thread.

No.  Fine newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Post do obituaries all the time.  A little morbid, but not offensive.  I think honoring the memory of our soldiers, however misguided you may feel the battle that killed them, is appropriate journalism.

I was not offended.  Is this discussion really happening?  I guess in this forum you can offend just about anyone with anything.
