WHY IS JENNINGS ROOTING AGAINST U.S. TROOPS?

The root of the demoralization of our troops is the media...Mike(hubby) was warning me several weeks ago that all these negative stories were affecting our troops...that and all the attacks, heat, etc...just snowballed.....the troops hear no praise in the media on all the good things they are doing in Iraq and feel/know the support is slipping in the US.

Bears repeating. The way the media is reporting troop casualties in Iraq is getting on my nerves - and it seems they are only reporting casualties.

Of course, we have plenty of troops still in Afghanistan, and they aren't reporting anything there.

I have no argument with recognizing soldiers who've made the ultimate sacrifice; I think we should. But the media is not recognizing these soldiers, they are just implying that they died for nothing, thereby negating their sacrifice - and then they say they are "supporting the troops" by doing so.
