The really sad thing is to be so removed from the war that it takes a casket to be reminded that people are being killed.

And then forget about it again as soon as the casket is out of sight.

I'm just trying to understand -- is this a patriotic reaction or would you feel the same if it was the casket of an ordinary citizen killed in an accident?
