Even the media has been going to iraq.
Anmd they are supposedly the most liberal people around.
Which I think is bull.

THe world just needs a hit of X.....
Well, I think the media is a bit to the left but throughout history the media has stayed by majority on the side of the minority..
My lefties statement did come off a little narrow sounding. To put it better.. The left side likes to look at the immidiate direct impact. They see great american kids leave to go over there and then come back in a box. Nobody likes to see that.. but you need to take into account what happens in between the two. The right side likes to focus more on the job that gets done in between and not count all those boxes as being so important after the job is done. Neither of these ideals are correct in and alone.. There has to be a ballance. In the same breath where you say you dont want to see americans coming home in a box you have to also think about the reason it is happening and why in the end it is so important.
We are not dealing with a non-aggressive third world country that meant to do us no harm.. we are dealing with people who want to kill us and will continue to do so. If we leave now and try to turn a blind eye to the problem again it will not be long untill the next attack on our soil. Everyone wants this war to be over.. except maybe Halliburton.. but oh well. hehe
I posted the toke message two days before the bad news. I swear to God, I didn't mean it as farewell toke.Quote:

The only thing more short sighted than the media are the people who watch the media...

This was a shitty situation for those guys they got abandoned and over run at their check point. Their squad leader I'm sure is having a hell of a time dealing with all of this between getting his ass reamed and his own consience but it could have been avoided. They came under attack there was 3 hummers total 2 took off trying to go get in the fight and the other one these guys were in got over run. their driver got shot and killed and they got taken hostage. No one will ever no what happened but odds are they were getting hit with rpgs and other types of explosives, easy to get confused and panic, your balance get's fucked up between that and the adrenaline it'd be easy to become disoriented and confused and make your self an easy target. I can't imagine any troops who'd willingly surrender to someone who you know is going to kill you I'd almost have to beleive they were knocked out or messed up and wounded badly already. attacks like this are only going to increase now that one has been successful but these situations can be avoided. May god accept them into heaven with open arms for they shall suffer no more. R.I.P. heros of the 101st your sacrifice shall never be forgotten nor taken for granted.
do you not think they were trained to deal with that? especially as they were soldiers, you know, people who are trained for that situation, or did you forget that and think of them more as headless chickens?
