Get out in front this story in what way. Go ahead and explain.
They need to explain to the public that this is war and this happens in war. That we are winning and because we are winning the enemy is conentrating on making PR moves (that this is one of them). That we at home have a job to do and that is to be strong and support the effort..... on and on and on... everything they haven't been doing the last 3 years.
They also can start promoting patriotic events.
You're right, jv. Explain what? Stuff happens and not all of it good. We are only losing this war in the msm. Your excellent work is acknowleged and appreciated.
