“It is not the Army’s responsibility to refute partial reports..” Hell it isn’t. What do you think their people who work with the media do when there is wrong info? Sit there with their thumbs in their ears? No, they get the record corrected. Moreso, they talk with the reporters ahead of time to make sure they have their facts correct. DUH? What a novel idea! Your lack of understanding of how reporters and the military work wiith each other is mind-boggling.
“...by leftist anti-military sources.”
So CNN, NYT, Military Times, JAMA, San Jose Mercury and the Hartford Courant are leftist anti-military sources? Baised? Sure. Everyone is. “Leftist anti-military sources?” Wow. You’d better leave now. Joseph Farahis is calling you to write some articles.
Why are you making such a point to besmirch our military on a conservative website?
What motivates you to ignore the overall statistics on suicide and state your anti-military perspective? (No one is arguing with the numbers - just what you have implied by using them).
I don't know who you are other than what you have said here. Do you oppose the Iraq War, and therefore join the left in presenting an anti-military view? Do you oppose the military itself? Are you a pacifist?
What point, exactly, are you trying to make with your less than persuasive argument and speculation here?
