And more on the obsession with dead soldiers
Yes, I know I keep coming back to the same theme — the media’s obsession with dead and wounded soldiers, as opposed to active warriors — but I can’t help feeling that there’s more here than just a stupid and irritating media.
Melanie Phillips, who writes about a similar trend in England, may have put her finger on part of the problem, which is that the media, and the Left, view the soldiers as sacrificial lambs in an unwinnable war on behalf of an undeserving nation. How different from my view, which is that they’re are warriors successfully (so far) holding the line between civilization and barbarism. It’s a winnable war, and a war we should win — if we believe in our cause.
