Anyone with a brain will see that the action reflects directly on those filming it, not the military.
I respect the military to the utmost degree for what they have to do. But i do not understand when people in the military get defensive and point at those who are civilians and call them lazy or not dedicated enough because they are not enlisted. You obviously joined the military for a reson, because you wanted to do it. No one forced you, it wasn't a draft to go to Iraq. Thats why i don't get why you would get high and mighty about the situation.
I agree to a degree that the Military should have more freedom to do what is necessary to get the job done but the people need to know what is going on. The people need to know facts though and the overall picture, not certain small instances that are blown up to the make the military look worse. The media is a bunch of shock jockey's that blow up anything that will increase viewers, i agree that it sucks, but it is the nature of the beast
At the end of the day its a job that you signed up for, its a path that you chose. And i respect you for the path you chose, but that respect is lost when you use your life to look down on me for the path i have chosen.
