"And if he dies from his injuries?"

"Then I will mock his mission, denigrate his work, and protest outside of his funeral like the American Left has done to our soldiers for 45 years."

The leftists have been spitting on our soldiers' graves for decades, I give you that. HOWEVER, you don't sound much better than them. Sad, really.

Hey neets, I didn't follow because it made no sense and that was a nice way for me to put it.

Do you know what the ABC news marketing campiagn is? My guess is no.

Something wrong with you.

I think it is called "Hate at any cost".

Yeah, I had the last name wrong, as usual.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

I'm going to post it in the Canteen.

I wish each and everyone of our wounded and killed troops received this kind of attention.......

______________________________________

I've seen several news shows that have broadcast names and photos of those who have been killed and the news shows are slammed for shining negative light on the war. I've never understood that. I think it is helpful and important to keep a human face on the war to remind people that is is our county-men and women who in harms way (as well as our family members).

If they did that, I'm sure more than a few here would be slamming the MSM for harping on all the injured soldiers, that they are defeatist, emboldening the enemy, ect...

Before we get too far down this road, what was their marketing ploy? Surely not to get them injured?

There is nothing wrong with me toots.

I am not the one implying his being there and/or being injured was some sort of "Marketing ploy" or campaign or conspiracy.

I can't comment on his agenda because I don't watch the news on TV(well I do watch the 6PM evening news because I like to hear what is going on in and around the Metro area).

All I know is he is a US Citizen who bravely decided to go to Iraq and got hurt while there.

I hope he and his photog will recover from his injuries and continue on in their employment.

Concerning the hierarchy of civilized discourse . . .

Wow. Are you on the right site. This place is to civilized discourse what the UFC is to the sweet science. That being said, I prefer the UFC.

Yup. At the cost of one's soul....... What a price to pay.

Was Woodruff the guy who was celebrating with Hamas last week?

I'd wager ABC will pay the bill.

If you are going to suggest that we as taxpayers will, you don't know squat about the military or government and how it works.

That's an interesting thing I'd never thought of. I guess that necessity is the mother of invention, and there is never greater necessity for trauma treatment than in war.The Golden Hour, CPR, triage, forward treatment, use of plasma were all brought about during war.

I'm getting the idea you are a bit too stupid to communicate with. OK, I'll try.

ABC began their new campaign after Jennings has died to move anchors around from place to place and go to places where news is being made to have the anchor broadcast from there.

Just last night I heard their commercial touting this, how they have this fellow, who's now been injured, and a woman who co-anchors in different places, depending on what the important news story is.

This is a gimmick and a ploy to set them apart from others who anchor from New York or DC. It is marketing.

You only need to look at the actions of the left like Code Pink at Walter Reed to understand where I am coming from.

The Cameras seem to love Cindy Sheehan and she calls the insurgents Freedom Fighters.
