Article about knowing the names of Fallen Soldiers

About a month or two ago, I read an article that was showing how that many citizens know the names of fallen soldiers in their own country but do not know the names or even care about the civilians who were killed by their country or its allies. It referenced Trump's long tribute to Carryn Owens in his address to congress as an example. As I remember, the author may have been a pacifist.

Likely has a lot to do with the notion that soldiers laid their lives down for us.
It seems to me like a godless substitute for true, sacrificial love. It really is the idolatry of a nation.
