I understand what you are saying and agree with you.  However, when people join the military, it is somewhat understood that there is an element of danger, and that they may, at a moment's notice be called to duty to serve and defend.  And there's the possibility that they might die while performing this duty.  When regular people, like me and you go to our office and fix coffee for the morning, there isn't always that element of danger lurking in the shadows. It's not in our job descriptions to be on the alert and be ready to go out and serve and defend our country. When innocent people die while performing their normal everyday office duties, it just seems more horrifying.  It shouldn't, I know, but it does. I don't intend to offend anyone, it's just my own opinion.
