No. I listen to talk radio 24/7. They don’t have videos and have to rely on speech, rhetorical skills. That leaves hands and eyes free to do some reading of actual books and letters from relatives on the ground in Iraq.
Thank you for your family’s service and sacrifice.
Please know that many of us are thrilled to learn of these positive events/videos/news that wouldn’t otherwise be known because the MSM purposely keeps good news from the world.
I say this with respect: your views are respected ... please respect those of others. No one’s forcing you to look at any thread, so why not just bypass those that upset your sensibilities ?
It's very unfair that you seem to believe that just because you have dialup and don't bother with UTube, nobody else should be allowed either. I also live in a rural area where DSL is just coming through, but see no need to punish others for having it.
Most of us with family in the military are hurt and angered far more deeply by the constant negative press then those who support our troops, but don't have any relatives currently fighting.
I hope you would respect the wishes of those of us who enjoy uplifting stories about our troops and simply exercise your freedom to choose not to hijack a thread because you don't like UTube.
FRiend, some of us here at FR like this stuff. If you don’t, feel free to ignore it. This is about the only forum for such things, as the DM don’t often show them. I read a lot more than I watch TV or video. That doesn’t mean I limit myself to only one form of information intake. I do not, however, demand you conform to my specifications. This is still America, and we can be, in fact are encouraged to be, different in our tastes and abilities. Leave us to gather our information where we may, will you?
Not to mention that BBC recorded and published something positive about our troops. That is practically a historical event in it’s own right!
