The situation with media inaccuracy in military matters bugs me too. There are darn few reporters who have any experience in the military. A single hitch would at least familiarize them with the jargon, customs, and general attention-to-detail. Instead we get conclusions drawn from ignorance, if not outright antipathy.
Exactly. I think though, that they don't WANT that. I believe that is one of the reasons the press has become so "anti-embed"...they think that they are losing their "objectivity".
Well, no $hit $herlock. They can't HELP but admire the military when they actually see what these young people can do...and THAT is a BAD thing for the press. Wouldn't want them to lose their "objectivity".
Sheesh. I better stop now.
