It is sad to read comments one some of the news sites about how cowardly the shooter was, when he was doing what our snipers do.

Their snipers shooting a high ranking officer are cowards
Our snipers shooting a high ranking person are heroes

I get it.

It is sad that the General got shot. But honestly, no more nor less sad when when other members of our military get shot.

I wonder who will get a more flamboyant memorial?????
