The fact that soldiers, OUR men and women died as a consequence of oil greed is not as important as filling up the SUV and the dualie cheaply. PBS Newshour gives the names and home towns as well as uses a picture of the deceased service man or woman. They do this in silence to honor and reflect on the gift that this person has given up. If you haven't seen this then perhaps changing the channel from the drivel is an option.
PS It was not shoved down our throats. We willingly watched. A remote did come with that TV! Don't blame the media for giving most, I repeat most, of the people what they want to watch. The rest of us use the remote to change the channel. Sorry this is so strident, but this is a hot button for me. I lost a loved one during the Viet Nam Conflict and am still smarting from that stupid war.
