Check out Camp Katrina and Major K (military bloggers) regarding MSM's continued disinformation, and, as well, see how really low these troops morale are.
Myers: Morale, Commitment High in Armed Forces
After visiting 18 bases and meeting with more than 15,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, plus Defense Department civilians and contractors, Myers said Americans should be assured that their military is "the finest organization on the planet." But just as importantly, he said, its members recognize the role they're playing in maintaining security around the world and see firsthand the difference they're making, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. "They particularly want to finish the job at hand," he said, noting that they see the progress they're helping
bring about.But despite his upbeat assessment, Myers said he's concerned about what he called "the growing gap between what people are hearing back here in the United States and with what we saw on this trip." While not pointing his finger at the news media, Myers acknowledged that news coverage of activities in Iraq could be "fuller," and that news, by its nature, often focuses on negatives rather than positives. "It's human nature that we tend to go where the fire trucks...or the police cars ...or ambulance are going," he said.
Ya don't think the MSM are not the enemy by making things hard for our troops in Iraq? Nice way of showing how they "support the troop." Really, they don't with the attitudes they have about Iraq.
No? Give me a list of positive reports that the MSM have printed over the last 2 years?
