I remember discussions with other servicemembers, and we shared a concern about how EVERYTHING our armed forces do seem to be put out in the press for everyone (including those who don't like us) can see it.
Our press prints information that helps the enemy adjust and adapt tactics (remember the bit about how we could pick up on their telephone conversations? They changed phones and now we have a harder time.) We print stories about the weaknesses of various weapons systems. Morale problems. And information on "How to Beat Us".
And then, I came across these. And they're timeless. And as needed now as they were then.

How true. Listening to the news somedays, you have to wonder, are they REALLY American? I think the problem is that there are waaaay too many people in the country that don't really understand that we ARE at war. A real war, and a very long war. (I work with a lot of them). The stuff they hear on the news (the slanted news) well, it doesn't really have anything to do with them. It's just that mean old George Bush trying to run the world. And interuppting the important stuff, like American Idol.
Excellent post!
