[Cannoneer No. 4]

I think there is a good chance the ideological press will sugar-coat the news of Strykers getting blown up. They will report deaths so they can add to the body count and chant the mantra (this is the 435th American servicemember to die since President Bush declared an end to major combat operations), but I'll bet they don't dwell on the vehicle. They want the Army turned into a Meals On Wheels program, and Shinseki is a Democrat.

To really turn public opinion there needs to be a CNN camera crew nearby when a 10 or 11 year old boy steps out with an RPG and takes out a Stryker with the crew watching from inside the vehicle. Then maybe the country will realize that war is a dangerous place and the bad guys want to kill us and will resort to any measures to do so. In in the meantime we will sit back and watch our young soldiers suffer for the stupidity of their leaders.
