Bette Nunn,

Thanks so much for bringing this up. I have been saying this all along. We have guys and girls most of young age defending this country for what they believe in and paying the ultimate sacrafice. Do they get media coverage for the heroics? No but a drug abuser gets all the attention. Yes the bodyguard was good and she was a talented singer but lets honor the ones who are straight as a arrow and defending our freedom for next to nothing. I enoyed your article and glad someone couple put it into words for me. God Bless our Troops and God bless America!

Our troops that gave all deserve far more then they get.God bless our troops.
Why must we call people by the worst thing they ever did (a drug abuser)instead of the best thing they ever did.If we called you curiousgeorge by the worst hing you ever did,what would we call you?

its not that im bashing her for her abuse. What she did in her own time was her thing. Im saying its rediculous that every channel you turned on or every paper you read was about Whitney. Yes she accomplished a lot in her short life but we have guys and gals defending our freedom at 18 years old and older dying for there country and what do they get? A 15 second news bulletin saying they were killed in action. Then thats the last you hear of it. Thats not right to them and there sacrafice they made. We need to honor these guys and gals a lot better then we do now.

I think it's because it isn't news that a soldier was killed. Not being disrespectable... just saying. If 28 singers died and were given coverage, by the time the 3rd or 4th died nobody would be tuning in to watch.
I think there are a lot of things we can do to honor the men and women who die keeping us safe, but a tv funeral doesn't come to my mind as a way to do it.
My father said during the "vietnam years" he got so sick of coming home and hearing the death toll on the news. He's a veteran but didn't want to hear about the war everytime he turned on the tv. Just putting things in perspective. If we get bombarded with good or bad news, it tends to lose it's impact.
