Because not an awful lot of them die, what with the new tech and all...besides wasn't that a job hazard last I heard? It's not like I'm not grateful but that's what solders do. It's not as if some medieval lord forced untrained teenagers to hold the front line under the threat of feeding their families to his hounds alive.
I love 'em for it but defending the country from any threat under any risk is a job they chose themselves, no?

I'll never understand your generation's bizarre attachment to 2nd and 3rd class celebs.

I remember the day Elvis died. I remember the day John Lennon died. I remember when Jimmy Hendrix died. These were real celebrities worthy of global news. Will I remember a 2nd rate actress who made a few flicks? I'll forget by the time I log off.

Sure, it's sad. A human died. But that is what people do, they die. If she moved people, created something amazing or inspired millions, it would be sadder. I'm sure you can find a list of plenty of nobodies who died today.
