Well, I read in Digest, and I'm just getting caught up so here my 2
cents 
worth.

I greatful that the news media are telling us that these are
"accidental" 
(aka should have been prevented) deaths, vrs death from enemy combat
actions 
(aka where it is "expected").

This way you can see that we are once more doing a greater damage to 
ourselves then the enemy is doing to us.
