“They sometimes do. But I’d rather not see some liberal institution stereotyping our vets.”

I’m totally amazed that you or anybody else is upset that the liberal media (NPR, Salon, others) have written stories that have ended up HELPING hurting vets. Where was the conservative media on this story? On the conditions at Walter Reed? On the fact that soldiers were being electrocuted because of shoddy electrical work?

Oh, that’s right, wouldn’t want to embarrass the military bureaucrats.

I'm perfectly fine with the Walter Reed stories. There are indeed numerous instances where even a liberal media can and has helped our veterans.

But can you honestly look at this entire video and say that it does anything but reinforce negative stereotypes against veterans? I saw this demonization going on thirty years ago with Vietnam vets, and it's happening again with Iraq/Afghanistan vets. It's shameful, and needs to be opposed.
