Actually, I'd say that anyone has a right to hold an event in honor of the dead soldiers. So if you don't like moveon.org, maybe your organization could host one. As far as the numbers, I'd agree that the all the deaths are just as important as the thousandth.
Yes, when soldiers enlist, they do know that they may be sent to war. However, I think that our soldiers should never be sent into harm's way without a very good reason, and the lies about the weapons of mass destruction were very disturbing.
I agree that the media should show respect for the dead. However, I think that the human suffering should also be acknowledged, and the Fox-style flag waving tends to cover that up.
