No kiding Mel. It really makes me angry when they play up the negative so much. Then they make somebody like Jessica Lynch a hero. She was no hero. She was a POW. I mean she is a hero in that she was fighting war, but the marines who went and got her should have had the front covers of the magazine. They were the extra ordinary hero, but she had the look of innocense, and her story tugged at the heart strings of Americans, and her portrayal was a tactic used to make us question what we were doing.

The whoel war made me think this is crazy. When David Bloom died I thought his family is without a father, because he had to go follow Marines doing what they do. I thought it was very selfish of him to leave his family behind to catch a story on the war. Not to mention the fact that Marines have to protect these reporters and their focus has to be taken away from their job when a reporter is being an idiot and goes in harms way to get his shot.
