Good afternoon.
I understand where you are coming from, but remember, even if prissy liberals don't, that California has always given it's share of war fighters to our nation.

One of our boys went into the military right out of high school. He has 19 years in service, working on his third degree and his job is to help civilians restructure and make our military a more efficient fighting force.Excellent! There are a lot more jobs in the military that are necessary to support the folks who are actually doing the fighting. Logistics and maintenance are big ones. It's a big team effort to make everything work correctly.

These days I consider California to be San Francisco and LA with points south. Central and northern California are a different State. They should secede and form a new State.

I'll bet that one of those turn-coat generals the media-leftists love came from a poor state and used the military for their leg up.
To the left, the only good military men are those who attack the commander in chief.

4) The military has failed to recognize and maximize the media. It is the middleman. This middleman's distribution ability reaches the greater audience/customer base that it wishes to influence (I do not simply mean Americans, either). The Military on its own cannot hope to reach this audience, not even through maximizing its "niche market" of bloggers, military magazines and "friendly" media, though it is a place to start rebuilding. Picked this off of your blog. It seems to me that short of forcing the press to run stories, there is little that can be done by the military. They constantly try to steer the press towards the positive stories, but the press treats anything Army Information folks says as nothing less suspect military propaganda.
Let them interview everyone in a batallion where re-ups are nearly 100% in-country, and they will quote the most outrageous statements of the one or two disgruntled pvt's as if they spoke for everyone.
What more could be done, other than trying media hacks for sedition?
