I still can't get why people are baffled when media goes crazy over a celebrity's death and "ignores" soldiers. You're not going to read an article about an anonymous persons death unless there's some kind of crazy circumstances how it happened. Get over it. Let people discuss it

Those of you that feel the need to butt-in everywhere and try to trump the significance of someone's death by claiming that "soldiers die everyday and no one cares" should be ashamed of yourselves. People of all walks of life die everyday, many far more tragic than that of a soldier. It's not that we don't care. As flyinlow stated, it's very difficult to feel grief for someone who's name you never knew, soldier or otherwise. There's a time and place to mourn for our fallen service men and women, but this isn't it.

The case was very different for Paul Walker. Of course the vast majority of people that mourned his death probably never even met the man in person. However, the connection he made with gear heads (via the f&f movies and Always Evolving) didn't require a personal relationship.
