Maybe so, since I am truly interested and as curious as hell as to what is going on 24/7 with our soldiers, the citizens they protect in both countries, the enemy they fight, their battle defeats and victories, and on and on.
Damn it, why can't CBS just decide to run the full press conferences from our military, and the leaders of both countries, daily.
Why not schedule a two hour time frame everyday to inform the citizens THAT CBS SUPPOSEDLY WORKS FOR!
You make my point :)
Luckily with my brother there, I -- and by extension, WE -- have Freeper eyes and ears and boots on the ground.
For one thing -- You tell anyone who says the Afghans want us to leave that it ain't so. My brother tells me that the Afghans, civilian and military alike, the military brass in particular, get visibly upset when American troop level reductions are even hinted at (e.g., "Col. Ahmed, your unit is nearing completion of training and will be taking over this sector by such and such a date") never mind total withdrawal.
