One thing I learned over the weekend was the TOTAL hatred that many of our troops have for the U.S. press. The press has been taking an ACTIVE part in getting our young men and women KILLED in Iraq and Afganistan.
HOW?
By publishing stories that should NEVER be published in a time of war.
EXAMPLES:
There was a story released stating the our HUMVEES had new armor on the underside and sides to help fend off the effects of IED's. The report stated that the roof was a real weak spot. Within weeks of that report a new weapon showed up in Iraq. It was a Soviet made anti-tank weapon. It is hand operated. It looks like a small ball with a handle attached. Sorta like a WWII German handgrenade. It is equiped with a small parachute. It is made to be thrown or dropped from above. The chute open and it lets it fall on top of a tank or HUMVEE as a straight angle. When it makes contact it penetrates the roof and then explodes inside. One of the young men I spoke with this past weekend had one enter his HUMVEE, he was a VERY lucky may to survive it.
ANOTHER story. Our beloved press published a story on our body armor. They pointed out the weak points in the story, like the arm pits and inner thighs. Within DAYS of that report snippers starting targeting those spots.
Our press has NO shame. They should be turned over to those they harm. Traitors, no other word says it like that one does.
