Reply #2: The reports are still coming in

[gratuitous]

And the bodies are still being quietly ferried through Dover AFB in the middle of the night. But young men dying for no good reason thousands of miles from home is just such a downer, you know? It makes people feel bad, and then they don't want to go shopping, and Christmas is just around the corner.

So, while the reports continue to get filed, they're tucked away back on page C6, and unless the decedent has some hometown connection, the local news in Des Moines really doesn't care about some kid from McAllen getting his ticket punched. Now this from some pharmaceutical company about a product you can't buy.
