I have to believe that having this 24/7, nonstop coverage of war is doing a big disservice to the brave men and women who are trying to eliminate the forces of evil who want to wipe us off the face of the earth. When a constant running tally is kept of each and every single injury and fatality, the focus of the reporting switches from the battlefield to harrowing descriptions of the toll on innocent civilians. We will never defeat the enemy if this kind of coverage continues. I hate to say that, but I believe it to be the truth. How would these commie news outlets be reporting our bombings of Japan if they had been in existence during WWII? Just the thought of that makes me shudder.
Imagine CNN showing live footage of the landings at Omaha beach?
"Just the thought of that makes me shudder."
And yet, that's where we are as many university professors bend student sensibilities in a direction hostile to this country.
SE Mom and I had almost the exact same conversation yesterday. We'd all be speaking German if WWII was waged today.
