Response to CarolinesJourneys: "Toddler ignores military protocol"
I agree with CarolinesJourneys in that this story was not newsworthy, had little local relevance (to Louisville, Kentucky). However, this story does show us what being in the military does to a family., especially a three year old boy, i.e, how cruel military protocol can be. This was the real point of the article. However, CarolinesJourneys does not mention this at all. She seems to have missed the point of the article, which I have to agree, was not explicitly shown. You had to read "through the lines" of the report to see what it was really about.
I also don't agree that it didn't have local relevance. Fort Knox is very close to Louisville and many, many military families live in this region. Just because the little boy and his mom were from San Francisco does not mean that this also doesn't happen to families in Kentucky or all over the U.S.
