104 US soldiers killed in Iraq in April
And, Petraeus says it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Has any news outlet given these deaths the space they gave the gunman at Virginia Tech?
These 104 soldiers just died serving their country.
(If I were CNN, I would set aside one segment a day to allow military families to send in their video, stories, or statements about their family members who died in Iraq. Ban any comment on the war itself, but just allow the families who wish to participate, a few minutes to share their memories and honor their children, husbands, fathers, etc.
It would be the most watched segment of their day.)
The deaths raised to at least 104 American troops who have died in Iraq as April draws to a close, making it the deadliest month since December, when 112 Americans died.....

I don't know if it would be the most watched segment, as most people would find it ultimately depressing. And seeing wasted lives like that would turn the tide against the war even more than it is going already.

Yeah, it would be depressing, but if it was edited right, it would be hugely emotional, and people would watch for that.
