Lt. Brian Bradshaw U.S. ArmyI am sick of hearing about michael jackson. I thought this article brought up a great point. How come we haven't heard about the 13 members of the military who have died since michael jackson's death? I realize he's regarded as a musical icon...but in the end the guy sang and danced....these 13 People (and thousands more) made the ultimate sacrifice for Their country, and we hardly even hear about it. Unclassy, outrageous, irritating, and completely wrong if ya ask me.

I agree that Michael Jackson's death is getting blown way out of proportion and trivializing any other recent deaths for members of the armed forces or even other celebrities.
These brave men and women NEVER receive recognition commensurate with their sacrifice. If it weren't Michael Jackson, something else would upstage them. There is no equity in this regard. The fact is, EVERY life lived and lost, deserves to be celebrated.
As Diane said "Every life lived and lost deserves to be celebrated"
But there was only one Michael Jackson and there are many soldiers who die. Which is exactly why it is not covered. If it was covered every day, if all the grief and heart ache for the families was covered we might not be so eager for war.
Cheney and many others wouldn't be making half the money they now make.
It'a all about money Zach. But of course you know that.
I agree with you Zach. I mean, I like Michael Jackson's music, but in the end the guy's life was pretty questionable. Hopefully those soldiers are at least getting a lot of recognition in their home towns. Utah is pretty good about giving fallen soldiers a lot of attention.
Amen!
PS: How did your Air Force interview go today?
Well said and so true.
