That is another subject altogether and I agree.This has hurt our active duty military and I wonder if you read #126,the list of abuses.

You know, MEG, I have not read it and you want to know why? I am so tired of the negative being constantly in the forefront and none of the positive. If our media had been showing continuously the Iraqi school children who have refurbished schools and supplies(donated by the American public)and the new sewage system the 101st built in Mosul where these people had been without for 7 years or the fact that people feel free to protest now even if it's against us but they have that feeling of freedom to do so BECAUSE OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR MILITARY MADE IF POSSIBLE FOR THEM-maybe things would be different. But since day one the media has focused on the mostly the negative. Our troop morale is probably suffering for it and now with this newest scandal I'm sure it will be worse. As I said I,too, am outraged at the photos that are constantly being shown on T.V. as though no one in the world has already seen them and I want whoever is responsible to be brought to justice. I just want there to be equal time to all the good things that America has brought to the people of Iraq.

Long Cut,active duty overseas, posted 126 and 117.I am on positive threads every day.I was responding to #60 when I came here.

We cannot change the media or the CNN discussion going on now,that this will create more terrorists, or the abused Iraqi,so humiliated he can't return home,wants money and would move to America.They drive me nuts,but the active duty guys are hurting here,they are angry at the perps.The politics being played were predictable and I hate it.The HYPOCRISY is maddening in the arab,lefty,and international press...and so it goes.
