That is whats so bad about these media stunts. it makes the work our soldiers are doing that much harder. I don't want even one of them killed. These anti-military stunts really make me mad.

This stunt wasn't anti-military, and the soldiers cheered the question. The people under fire are the ones who cheered, not Rummy. And they are understandably impatient, I don't blame them a bit.

The arrogant scum reporter claims that it erupted in applause. I do'nt recall hearing that reported elsewhere. I wouldn't be so quick to believe him.

If it were such a concern to the troops, why did they need to be coached by a non-combatant?

You don't wonder these things?

Then should they be courts marshalled for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, when the next RPG hits a humvee?

This stunt wasn't anti-military

It most certainly was. That was plain yesterday by the deceitful "reporting" by the MSM of the questions AND answers of this entire event.

The framing of this story *in the media* has everything to do with making it appear the administration is apathetic, inept, disinterested, incompetent, cavalier with our troops' lives and so on.

It also serves to encourage the troops to become distrustful and resentful of their leadership.
