I don't "like" them.
That is absurd.
You brought up criticism of the embedded program and I defended it and now you're crying because you've been challenged.
You continue to make false assertions when you have been corrected. You are not to be taken seriously.
Good day.
I think, for the most part, the embeds have been a good thing. But there has to be some responsibility on the part of the embeds and the press. This is war. The reporter should NEVER had turned the video over to the press - it should have been turned over to the military if he felt a crime had been committed. He could have STILL reported the story, without showing the video. This is not about censoring the press - it's about the press showing some responsibility in how they report at a time of war. Of course the real problem is that a lot of the MSM is against the war and our troops - and that is a real problem that somehow must be dealt with.
As I thought..
It is about you, not the Marines.
I am not "crying" as you say, and what you have posted is hardly challenging. I was merely trying to ignore you so that the attention was on support of this Marine. But you will not have that.
Your shallow perception leads you to believe the military created the embedded reporter program because it, in and of itself is a good thing. It is not. It is a means to head off what the MSM would normally do: distort with intent to demoralize our troops and effort.
The idea is to have the reporter interacting directly with the troops so that things are on a more personal level between the reporter and the troops, hopefully discouraging hostile reporting as is the standard MO of the anti-American media.
One instance out of ten, as you claim, is still not good enough. If they get another mess like the prison scandal going, it will demoralize our men. If they get our men killed for worry of what some treasonous embed might report during the heat of battle, then it is a BAD program.
What the military intended with the embed program and what these Marxist pukes turn it into are two different things.
I do not have to be a supporter of every decision by the military brass to be a supporter of our men. This case in particular. There are no shibboleths here.
The media is anti-american and Marxist. There is no "good" application of their distortions, only less bad ones.
I have assserted nothing that is false, and to say so is patently untrue.
Now, if I am "not to be taken seriously", kindly refrain from further postings to me.
