The Difference Between Soldiers

One gets endless media coverage (to wit).

The other....


"Soldier wounded in Afghanistan, in coma

A 20-year-old soldier from Dublin has been seriously wounded while on duty in Afghanistan. Matthew Katka suffered head injuries Sunday while patrolling in the southeastern area of the country. Family spokesman Kevin Moody said his parents were told he was hit by a bullet or shrapnel and is in a coma. Moody told WMUR-TV of Manchester that Katka was taken to a base in Germany and is expected to be transferred to a hospital in Washington, D.C. Moody said doctors told the family that Katka’s prognosis is good (AP)."

Even though he may NEVER COME OUT of it!
