Heroes Don't Shout
NY POST ^ | 8/24/04 | Retired Army Officer Ralph Peters

Truer words were NEVER spoken. I base that on several UNCLES who were in WWII, all heroes, all silent and only when I personally investigated did I realize valor and sacrifice is mostly silent once it is in the past.

That's a great bumper sticker. "I just can't trust John Kerry".

..."...the parade of talking heads, so few of whom have served in uniform themselves."...

So few media people have done anything other than self-indulgence themselves, that it seems to me that that is all that they know how to do.

It is sickening to watch a foofed, pompous fool on FOX question a General about military tactics. The foofed, pompous media fool reads his questions written by a behind-the-scenes coffee-addicted head who read a question from somewhere and put it on the teleprompter so the girly-boy can read it to the General.

The General then has to rush his answer because it's time for girly-man to say "QUICKLY". It's then time for girly-man to announce what's "Coming Up Next".

I'm criticizing FOX--check out the rest of News shows..
