Since when does the media report positive reports?
"in your view should the media only report positive stories about everything"
Nope - I abhor the excuse of "news" to lay out classified information to make sure the enemy can kill even MORE AMERICANS the next shot.
Why in the hell should you expect the military to tell YOU exactly how a person was killed inside a very well built tank?
Do you want to kill American tankers? If you read that "If you shoot the RPG-7 from 130 yards at a 88 degree angle into the right-rear-quarter panel direclty behind the #3 plate, there will be a 99% chance that a piece of shrapnel will enter the tank", would that placate you?
satisfied?
