I do. It's a war, for crying out loud. They are reporters. They need to learn something about the military they're talking about. To not report accurately the ranks, unit designations, etc., of the military which is currently at the center of the world stage, is yet another example of the attitude of the mainstream news media, including FNC, toward the military. They love to mouth platitudes about our forces, but when the time comes to really show their respect, to accurately report on them, they won't even take the time to learn something about them. As a veteran, that just really chaps my backside.

Yes, Bob Sellers is ordinarily a good anchor, but he's not a good war anchor. Mike Jerrett, Julian Whateverhisnameis, and LA dingbat Juliette Huddy are just atrocious. Eric Shawn is also usually a good anchor, but he continues to refer to the "captured" soldiers as part of a "maintenance division", even though Major Garrett at the Pentagon is doing his best to correct him by referring to it as a "maintenance company". Shepard Smith is as least trying to get ranks and unit designations right, but he's one of the few at FNC who's trying. As reporters go, Greg Kelly and Rick Leventhal are doing the best job so far, because they obviously have respect for the guys they're riding along with.

I don't now how the other networks are doing, because those liberals never darken my screen.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
