Our Fallen Soldiers

Redstate.com has an interesting analysis of US military deaths under the last four US presidents, during their first term in office. Here's what he comes up with:

George W. Bush . . . . . 5187 (2001-2004)
Bill Clinton . . . . . . . . . 4302 (1993-1996)
George H.W. Bush . . . . 6223 (1989-1992)
Ronald Reagan . . . . . . 9163 (1981-1984)

Carter lost more military people in 1980 than GW has lost in any one year.

I believe all of these military deaths should be honored, and I hope they are. At the same time, I sense that the MSM, in counting the number of deaths on a daily basis in Iraq, is not trying to honor our fallen best.
