Smells a little fishy... a soldier is KIA, normally people want "privacy" to mourn the loss and make preparations.

This family is mad because the national media isn't knocking on their door?

They should be mad and angry and hurt at a former President who lied and started this bullcrap war.

BS. Afganistan has not been covered as it should since we invaded. Partly because even though it should have been our main focus on the war against those that attacked us on 9-11 we were distracted by an even larger war in Iraq. I hear more on Afganistan through BBC and Friends and Family that are there or have loved ones there than the MSM and it has been that way from the start. Just because you dislike President Obama does not mean what the media descides to cover has anything to do with him, sounds like a major reach on your part, you know, it is called grasping at straws.

Yes, it is a shame that these so-called Americans do not turn out for our heroes like they did for some freak....but that's America.
The American public should not honor war criminals. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were war crimes. That's the reason why the soldiers should come home. NOW!!!

Michael Jackson deserves the attention he's getting. He was the world's most popular entertainer ever, there will never be anyone like him ever again.

Sorry but I stopped when I read Gangsta. A self proclaimed Gangsta, get out of your parents basement for a few hours a day.



I don't care if it's Fox, Cnn, MSNBC, they have all been way over the top in covering Wacko Jacko. It also should not matter if you supported the war, if a service member got killed you should respect them for doing their job. You can see how gret the media is where the Pedophile gets so much praise and attention and the troops get a sentence on the ticker at the bottom of the screen. Once again money over values in the country.

so you are suggesting that america instead needs to honor a disturbed, broke, peter pan wannabe 50 year old who basically died by his own stupidity after an IV drug overdose?

I cannot believe you just called every single soldier a war criminal. But I guess I should believe it since this is coming from someone who believes a pedophile should get the attention he's getting....what a whack job you are

Blah...blah...blah, no matter what you believe or what fantasy land you live in, you cannot take away the fact that the entire world loves Michael Jackson and reviles the war criminals you worship as "heroes."
