I think some people do tend to believe that they have a personal relationship with someone such as Bob Woodruff. He comes right into your home and gives you the low-down...good, bad, happy, sad. He may have to deliver tragic news to you, and he has to deliver it in a manner that you can accept and process. This is an important relationship to many. Not that Woodruff being injured is any more important than what is happening to so many others, but most people don't have a relationship with the soldiers and personel being injured and killed. This incident brings it a little closer to home to those who don't have friends and family members involved.
