I assume there is some kind of standard or sworn silence by military personnel when addressing the press.
We keep hearing that the media is not representing things accurate, we keep hearing calls to bring our boys home (when every single one of them volunteered to do exactly what they're doing and knew full-well what lay ahead), and yet we never hear about the opinions of the troops.
We never hear how they would vote in the upcoming election.
I guess what I'm curious about is whether that's the media hiding that, or whether it's a military policy to avoid the press.
It's the media hiding it. I just finished watching Sean Hannity, Col. Oliver North, Secretary Rumsfeld and many soldiers in Iraq that prove it.
If you get the chance, watch the first 45 minutes of Hannity tonight. (Alan does not participate!)
