And what else would you expect them to do?

This was the headline on the Rogers news portal a couple of minutes ago:

Headline_VanDoos.png

And media types wonder why they don't get treated with seriousness . . . how unserious do you have to be to write that headline?

Of course the Van Doos will carry on: they're soldiers. That's what soldiers do. The loss of comrades will sadden them, but they'll continue to do the job . . . because that is what soldiers DO.

Frickin' idiot media. The article is here if you want to read it.
