The problem with "embedding" is that these clowns can't see the forest for all the trees. We are witnessing the biggest ASS-KICKING in history, yet they reporters call a couple troglodytes in a pickup taking on a M1A1 "Major Resistance".

I think you are 100% correct. The probelem is we are not used to taking ANY casualties. We are too used to war being antiseptic and if we sustain a few dozen casualties in the eye of the press, they report it as if we are losing.

My take is progress is going so fast, that our airforces are too busy taking care of strategic targets first before they can engage tactical targets in full. That will change very very soon.

In their defense, they are just seeing that part of the war. They can't report on what they don't see.
