I am of the opinion that the President is aware of these things.  Why the President chooses not to attend funerals is a good discussion topic, but I am putoff by the insinuation that the President believes that a soldier is simply a SS number, without a face or a family.  This negative thinking is poisonous to the thinker and all those who become contaminated by association.

To Jonathan A. Markham and ALL the men and womem of the armed forces who have lost their lives in service to our nation.

I would agree.  Even the generals who order the missions know the cost of what they do.  We are waging war and it has a price.
