This is all about a media war that continues to rage between the old and new media. Unfortunately for our soldiers, these brave Americans are caught in the crossfire.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The US military still blames the media for stories and images that turned the American public against the war in Vietnam.
The media bring our wars home, but only rarely have they been able to do it in complete freedom.
Today they have proven once again that the mainstream media can't print enough bad news about our troops.
I'm very disturbed about the uptick in shootings and violence at our military installations across the nation.
From the subtle to the extreme, our culture and our values are under unrelenting attack from the media.
You, the foreign media, have been the companion of my people in its long and painful journey to freedom.
Let's see if we can't get this war behind us now. Certainly, the man in the street, the common person there, wants to have this war behind him. I think a lot of the soldiers are very war-weary too.
This war is being played in the realm of public opinion and has dire consequences for our soldiers in Iraq, the future of our country, and freedom around the world.
The American media wants to pump you full of fear.
We do live in this age of new media.
