FM 6-14: Standard Survival Techniques for Indvidual Sized Units

Noble dead that sleep below,
We your valour ne'er forget;
Soft the heroes' rest who know
Hearts like theirs are beating yet.

I guess they're all guilty of it...

CHENEY VICTIM HAS HEART ATTACK

"... David Blanchard, director of emergency services at the hospital, said Whittington, 78, suffered a "silent heart attack," meaning he did not exhibit any signs of a heart attack, the sweating, shoulder pain or crushing chest pain, but an EKG showed that he suffered an atrial fibrillation. The event occurred around 6:30 a.m. CST, the doctor said, and Whittington was immediately moved to the cardiac catheterization lab in the intensive care unit..."

Ok, so this was published on Fox News dot com. There are so many things wrong with this. Why do they have to refer to the guy as "Cheney Victim?" I've never heard of anyone else being a victim of this mysterious and horrible act of "Cheney." The funniest thing is, the guy basically didn't even have a heart attack. But, sensationalism makes news, and even Fox is guilty of that.
