Well put, Jason.

Wait a minute, Chris. Don't you think Marines under fire know how important their job is regardless of media presence?

And CNN?

we'd prefer not to know what a sweet old time you're having.

No, I must disagree. To imagine the heartburn he is causing in Atlanta with those statements going out over their "air" is great!

Dear Walter Rodgers, please let me know how much fun you're having when a RPG flies up your sorry ass.

I bet it would make me laugh, you liberal nitwit.

* The presence of journalists in the midst of the fighting might end up being a civilizing influence on the American military. War is a brutal business, but the Bush administration wants its fighting men and women to be seen as liberators, not barbarians. With cameras and notepads omnipresent in Iraq and environs, soldiers are even more likely than they would otherwise be to restrain themselves from bestial behavior.

Am I just misreading this, or are our brave press saving us from our 'bestial' soldiers?

On a lighter but related topic, Laurie Dhui related twice today that she had had the opportunity to spend two nights on an aircraft carrier. Not days, which could imply daylight and nightfall, but nights. Wonder if she knows what effect her words have on men.
