When a soldier enlists with the army, he/she knows that at some point, their life will be on the line. So, as Duncan said, sadly, when a soldier dies, it's just another death (Not in my view).
When a footballer or someone famous passes away, alot of people around the world know of this person and they all like to pay their tributes.
The news should of course put more effort though into mentioning these brave soldiers that are passing away in the war.

Im afraid its got so out of control in Afghan, we are all guilty of "oh its another soldier thats dies" it happens so often now its not a shock. Terrible but true. Im not saying it doesnt matter, of course it does but we dont lose a top name in football every other week. Such a waste in both cases here

Stu this is dangerous considering my last post regarding Mr Speed.
but if my opinion is welcome hear to be voiced openly without offending members i'll say it.
The guy is at the peak of his career in terms of public success.
He just takes his life for no apparent reason what so ever that has not been concluded yet, leaving behind two kids and a distraught wife, who now has to peice the puzzle of this unusual event probably going to effect her for the rest of her life.
The guy was to put it bluntly selfish.
Life is not all success stories and happy happy fairy tales.
if he was so troubled why didn't he seek help.
On the other hand considering what i said in a contraddictive way.
Why would a man with so much going for him top him self, i think the death should be treated suspiciously considering these events.
Absolutely mate, in this thread I purposely mentioned debate/discussion so people could air their personal views. As adults we should be able to stage a debate without fear of aggression 
To answer your thoughts I think I agree 100%
I also agree with Steph we don't know what was going on and therefore don't understand his reasoning, but the fact still remains as Rob suggested that the press are guilty or the "another has died" scenario and that is something we should certainly look to change as a nation because that is totally wrong!
All great points so far guys,

The whole media attention pisses alot of people off but were not the ones running round printing the press. They will print what sells and as stated earlier in the thread, the soldier was 'just another statistic' in the war (which is wrong). We all know what lengths papers will go to to get a story and make a few quid out of us, for example printing a full front page story about a celeb being caught with drugs and having lesbian flings, then a week later printing a 3 line sub article on page 36 saying sorry we made It up, and news channels do the same as they need the viewers for advertisement money.
