I don't have a link to support that conclusion- instead- I have a son who served as a combat soldier in Iraq. I've spoken with him (and several buddies he served with) about our media over there. Their conclusion? War is not a game- it is ugly, brutal, unfair and messy..and YET..journalists continue to treat it (war) and them (soldiers) as though it should be a video game. What struck them most was the sympathy shown for the enemy, (by journalists) and the thinly veiled disgust shown toward soldiers.
From listening to them- I would say "despised" is a reasonable description.
Sounds like our soldiers have some common sense. The reporters for everyone but Fox are despised here as well. They are all inflicted with their own biased agenda.
God bless your son.
God Bless you and your family, please please let your son and his buddies know that there are lots of people here in the U.S. that appreciate their service and sacrifice.
Best,
Hey lady, I'm glad your son made it back ok and you too survived his deployment.
I have seen video of reporterettes covering my son's battalion with their "native" scarves flapping in the wind looking and sounding for all the world like Paris Hilton and her sidekick. It would have been funny if it were a video game but as you say, it's not and the disdain they feel for our guys oozes from their lips.
I better stop. This has been a horrible day and I've already said and written a lot of stuff I can't take back. It all started when my sister-in-law said Murtha was a good guy, very sincere and noble.
