A couple of things have been on my mind recently. For starters, why do we have memorial threads for the dead at Fort Hood, but not for all the other soldiers who die every day in combat?

The kind of people who make these threads have agendas. The dead in Fort Hood are victims of terrorism -- particularly of those damned Arabs at home. They need to sensationalize the deaths to drum up fear and uncertainty on the homefront to justify the war in Iraq/Afghanistan.

The dead soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan represent military failure. Something to be forgotten, not remembered or memorialized.
