It's true that every life lost is tragic but why can't the liberal press report this?

The Navy Times first reported Monday that Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor, who has already received the Silver Star for his service in Iraq, would also be awarded the nation's highest military honor the MOH.While serving with the SEALs in Ramadi on Sept. 29, 2006, Monsoor grabbed a grenade tossed by insurgents and held it against his body to absorb the blast, saving other servicemembers.

Most recently, Navy Lt. Michael Murphy, also a SEAL, received the award in October for actions that saved a fellow SEAL's life, and made possible the recovery of the remains of other SEALs. Murphy called in backup during a fierce firefight with the Taliban in 2005.Although the rescue team was shot down, Murphy's actions allowed the one SEAL who survived the firefight to be rescued and the fallen SEALs' remains to be recovered.

In January 2007, Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham was also honored for leaping on a grenade in April 2004.

And Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith received the Medal of Honor in April 2005 for his actions two years earlier at Baghdad International Airport, where he killed up to 50 Iraqi attackers, allowing wounded U.S. troops to be evacuated.

    They can't report it because that would mean reporting with integrity. Something they know nothing about.
