Cool post, I'd also like to see a numbers analysis of the frequency of positive vs. negative adjectives used in news media over the last century. Maybe there is something there too?

I thought about that a bit too--mostly how differently casualty reports were written in 1918 to 1968 to 2018. I think if this article had been written a few months earlier, while the war was still going, it probably would have looked different. In what way exactly I'm not sure. I thought about comparing it to the casualty reports from the Iraq war, which were highly politicized, but my thoughts on that are very scattered.
