I guess my son got special treatment too, since we got a letter from his commanding officer saying what a great job he was doing. They send them to the parents if the soldier is not married, otherwise to the spouse, whenever the soldier is doing a good job.
The press doesn't want to protray these letters as common curtesy when the soldier is doing well. My son was an enlisted man, and in the infantry.
