Has it occurred to you that this "journalist" might have just made the whole thing up?

Actually, the real question is whether FReepers have even considered whether it might be true. There is NOTHING anti-American about what was reported. It might be untrue, but it was not anti-American, like the relentless propaganda about civilian deaths in Afghanistan, which are anti-American.

Why are Freepers so afraid of confronting stuff we might not like, which might be true? Instead, the usual response is juvenile humor, invective and self-congratualtion.

I can only speak for myself....to me it is not a matter of confronting information I might prefer to not face....in the case of this article it is a matter of the press printing articles that are inappropriate for wartime. I know some active duty military and some vets would take exception about how the Delta Force (if such a unit there is) is portrayed. However, knowing many military officers in different branches of the services, I just ignored that part as ignorant disinformation. What did concern me about the article is the supposing....the special ops plans might change, etc. Any military information discussion is dangerous to the troops on the ground now, and the ones who will follow in the future. I resent "journalists" putting the lives of patriots at risk. I hope that answers your question.
