In the last two days alone, these missiles have killed seven soldiers and damaged three Israeli-made Merkava tanks mountains of steel that are vaunted as symbols of Israel's military might, the army said. Israeli media say most of the 44 soldiers killed in four weeks of fighting were hit by anti-tank missiles.It's sad. You fight a PC war to minimize casualties and the Hezbos celebrate a few lucky shots.
PC wars get our own guys killed. It's time they are ended in favor of killing the bastards.

Also, note that the headline says the tanks are neutralized. A few tanks lost is a bad thing. The soldiers killed is a bad thing. But the Merkava tank is not neutralized. This is just one more attempt to spin the war the way the MSM wants it presented. They'd like it to appear that it is futile for the IDF to defend their country and that the noble savage Hezbollah is invincible. Of course, that's not exactly correct. But not being correct doesn't trouble the MSM.

This is absolutely insane.
The IDF has lost only 44 soldiers since this campaign to lance the Hezbollah boil started. Hezbollah has likely lost thousands, although their disinformation campaign has carefully hidden the numbers.
The world media is busy spinning a Hezbollah debacle into a IDF defeat, and it will continue to do so no matter how bloodied and battered Hezbollah gets. Even total annihilation of Hezbollah would be reported as a Hezbollah victory.
