Well said BK.
Part of the problem BC is the media exposure(or lack thereof) a fallen soldier gets from the media. Sadly, their deaths in time of war get mentioned on the back page of the paper, if at all. A local LEO works within his community and is more visible to the general public he serves. There is less anonymity for him in his AO than for a soldier. That could be part of the reason or I could be all wet.
