There are things the general public should just not know what is going on over there.
Transparency is hurting our soldiers work.
You have media interviewing soldiers as bullets are whizzing past their heads... You have cameras trained on soldiers shooting the enemy. If a mistake is made the media wants to crucify them all in the name of a Pulitzer.
Could anyone imagine Patton running through Europe with Heraldo Rivera in his back pocket?
News on the home front here is so distorted, one can only imagine the distortions coming from the mid east.
Agreed! We would not have won WWII if the media acted this way. I believe in freedom of the press, but just like religion, speech, and assembly there has to be rules to prevent choas like what is happening from happening. This is one of the problems Lincoln had and he had to teach them a lesson, I suggest we do the same here (with a part stating that this is only temporary).
