Thomas Sowell on the Military

What Will Future Generations Say?[*1]

It is impossible to fight a war without heroism. Yet can you name a single American military hero acclaimed by the media for an act of courage in combat? Such courage is systematically ignored by most of the media.

If American troops kill a hundred terrorists in battle and lose ten of their own men doing it, the only headline will be: “Ten More Americans Killed in Iraq Today.”

Oh, note to Howard Dean: Sowell is black. He has a job, too.
