It makes more sense to publicly mourn Whitney Houston because she gave performances which emotionally touched many millions of people, and they felt like they knew and cared for her.
Now, is it dumb to get attached to celebrities? Often. Is the media over-blowing this for ratings? Of course. But Whitney Houston getting more coverage than a soldier still makes sense. It's about the emotional attachments people had.

no... no it doesnt.
the fact that you AREN'T told about those dead men and woman is whats so friggin wrong with this country.
You are inundated with Whitney Houston, whos greatest contribution was to sing some songs, and know nothing about the men and women who are fighting and dying abroad and frankly that should absolutely piss you off. But you won't... and thats what our leaders are counting on.

Do you personally go and read the biographies of each fallen soldier? I bet less than 1% of the people bitching about Whitney Houston do.
There is no ignoring of the casualties as you say, every time a soldier dies the story is covered, even if personal information isn't given out about each casualty.
There's no 'hoping' by the leaders that the casualties are ignored, at least in the Iraq War. Obama and previous presidents do what you say the media should be doing. They recognize and learn about the fallen soldiers. I doubt they'd give a rat's ass if biographies were given for the dead soldiers. It could even help the war, as people would realize how much most fallen soldiers enjoyed and loved serving in the military (well except for some of those who serve mainly to climb out of poverty).
Mourning isn't a competition. People mourn over Whitney Houston because they knew and cared about her. That doesn't mean all those people don't also care about US soldiers.

Whitney Houston was forgettable... frankly, right up till she died she HAD been forgotten by most.
That stream of flag covered corpses has been going for a long time and it damn well IS hoped to not be talked about. I would love to know more about each of those young men and women, but really what I'm getting at is that the wars our country have been in since 2003 have taken a backseat... by design.

Millions of people remember specific moments in their lives where they were most touched by Whitney Houston's singing. Um yah... most people had not forgotten about her. Artists play an important role in peoples' lives.

Pretty much this. As much as I appreciate the men and women who serve in our armed forces they dont deserve to be mourned any more or any less than someone else who has died. The end of a human life is not something that should be so flippantly ignored.
