The MSM competes by publishing bad news. A breaking story must be one of bloodshed and mayhem. The Liberals use the ubiquitous barrage of this news to spread malcontent for their own political gain, ignoring the schools, hospitals, infrastructure improvements and freedoms that our service personnel have provided at great cost and hardship to themselves. Liberals continually ignore reports of our military and humanitarian successes as well as the formation of a new democratic government in a place that had known none.

Korea was called a draw. I think not. The Republic of Korea is a prosperous nation with world standing; the DPRK is a nation with a depressed, starving population and deemed a renegade regime throughout the modern world. The efforts of the US saved but half the peninsula. But few if any S. Koreans would choose to live above the 38th parallel.Viet Nam. A loss. Never was there a loss on the battlefield. The air war ended with the NVN's remaining air assets hidden in caves in the Red River Valley. Two offensives by the NVN were put down. The VC in the south were decimated, the standing army in the north defeated. Withdrawal of American forces began in 1971 and continued through 1973. Then the Congress cut funding to the SVN government, abandoned political support in exchange for a politically correct position popular in the US. The Democrats seized power and forced a sitting president from office and turned a blind eye to a new Holocaust happening in SE Asia.

The far left wing of the Democrat party is attempting the same thing now. The people of Iraq who seek democratic processes in their selection of a government and self determination in their lives and the US policy that protects their efforts in this direction are being undermined in Foggy Bottom by a defeated minority political faction, abetted by a failing press and media.

I welcome good news. I find it here. I receive it from time to time from those who have their heads in the air and their feet on the ground and who have an ear out for the truth about the goings-on in the world.

Thanks for pinging this, Tonk.

Excuse the rant, please.
