she was referring to using her to boost morale.

First of all, what's wrong with that?

Second, she indicated that she wasn't pleased with the use of the video of her rescue. That's the facts. I am baffled by why she could possibly be displeased with boosting the troops morale. Further, she can't use the video as the focus of "boosting morale", because most of the troops in the field heard about it before they ever saw it.

Her rescue, if anything, is what boosted morale; not a video of the rescue.

Look, dude, I'm not upset at her, per se. I just wish that she would have been mindful of what she said to the media. It may have been inadvertant, but she threw a huge amount of "red meat" the liberal press by even intoning that the Pentagon had done something inappropriate vis-a-vis showing the video of her rescue.

That's exactly my point. She said they were using her for morale. The evil liberal media then shortens that to "Army used me", quoting her out of context, and then claims she angrily said it, and you guys suck it up, hook, line, and sinker. Can't you check the facts before you believe everything the liberal media says?

Second, she indicated that she wasn't pleased with the use of the video of her rescue. That's the facts. I am baffled by why she could possibly be displeased with boosting the troops morale.

Because they portrayed her as the hero, instead of others. And that has caused many to hate her, and she is hurt by that.

Further, she can't use the video as the focus of "boosting morale", because most of the troops in the field heard about it before they ever saw it.

I think there's no doubt that the video was used to boost morale (which isn't a bad thing, by the way).

Her rescue, if anything, is what boosted morale; not a video of the rescue.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Look, dude, I'm not upset at her, per se. I just wish that she would have been mindful of what she said to the media.

She's 20, just two years out of the public schools, she's no presidential candidate who would know better how to handle the evil media.

It may have been inadvertant, but she threw a huge amount of "red meat" the liberal press by even intoning that the Pentagon had done something inappropriate vis-a-vis showing the video of her rescue.

Baloney! The liberal press twists everything anyone says. We shouldn't shut up because we're afraid of the liars. We should keep speaking the truth.
