I just got back from three weeks in Germany where I had the opportunity to see/hear a lot of broadcasts on the Armed Forces Network (AFN) news channels. AFN re-broadcast a lot of state side news shows including FOX, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC. But instead of paid advertising commercials, AFN plays a series of public service spots for military personnel and their families. I also saw a lot of the information posted in the hallway billboards. These spots and posters address many aspects of military life from command directives to entertainment to services available soldiers and their families. But if you watch and read enough of them, you will come to the conclusion America’s service members are a bunch of alcoholic, gambling-addicted, sexual harassing wife beaters with PTSD who can’t balance there check books. Perhaps his accusers saw too many of these types of service announcements on AFN and the bulletin boards in their office hallways.
Thanks, Bill.
Looks like 0bama’s influence has indeed filtered down through the chain of command to include AFN parroting the MSM. Having a decent CinC again can’t come soon enough, let’s pray it happens this coming election because it’ll take time to turn the damage around that the current one has been able to inflict.
