There is a reason I don't read newspapers, except for local news, or watch television news, and the simple answer is, it's not news, it hasent been for 30 years, and it wont be for another 30 years.

IMO the biggest mistake was allowing media to even travel to that country, let alone tell everyone our every move in the war. It prevented us from being stealthier, as far as our movement, or next engagement goes, and to always talk about civilian casualties, it did paint us as being brutal, but so is war. With those two factors, we have to walk on egg shells, slowing down our advancement, and softening our tactics.
Take a look at Russia during WWII, they lost 40,000,000 civilians during the war, yet that seems to be a silent factor when talked about, you know why? cause Russia kept tight lips on something such as that. Same thing when we were advancing in the Pacific, or in the Black Woods. Media was kept to a minimum, as it should be. I feel the media is the new form of terrorists. If they really cared about our troops, and the American people, they will keep their ****ign nose out of everything.
