Kudos Montell
She lost her Husband in Iraq. The death of the cat that played in Brokeback (never seen it) was sad, but it's always sad when a young person's life ends. But as always, the media tends to over analyze the death of one, and ignore the others. (Yes, I'm going there) In particular the deaths of the the young men and women who seem to die daily in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, we never saw them in a movie, but the fact that we never saw them on the big screen doesn't make their death any less tragic. Hell if the media over analyzed why they died, maybe we wouldn't still be occupying Iraq. Montell Williams sort of got this point across well on Faux. Just in case you wanna see the faces of those who have recently died in the occupation, here you go, http://projects.washingtonpost.com/fallen/

Your social consciousness is truly refreshing. Thank you for this interesting piece. Honestly, I believe more soldiers are dying than the gov. or media will ever report. Just visit some of the veterans cemetaries. They are quickly filling up - and not with older veterans.
