This is in no way putting down our armed forces but when you decide to become a warrior, you decide to take your chance at life or death for the freedom of your country. You do this knowing that there will be no celebration for you when you... win, your passing will sadly not be mourned by the world as you were not a beloved public figure bringing something positive to the world. There are only a few people that are able to reach the stardom of which Whitney Houston has accomplished and there are hundreds of soldiers globally that die on a daily basis therefore it makes perfect sense that the whole world is morning over such an icon compared to the deaths that happens all the time. Sorry if this is offensive but this is the way the world is today.
