Duh. That's one of the reasons why I hate the media.
No kidding. And I especially like when the media practically announces what kind of attack we would not be prepared for.
Of course they do.
NO KIDDING!!!
But don't expect the news agencies to get a clue. They rarely do.
It ain't about the troops on either side it's about the cash from ads.
imagine that, terrorists being embolded to learn that their enemies dont respect their own troops or government.. what a shock.
this link would be from fox.
i mean, they're a conservative corporation.
@mmmasquerade - "Two Harvard University economists found that insurgent groups are responsive to "antiresolve" statements in the media.
"It shows that the various insurgent groups do respond to incentives and shows that a successful counter insurgency strategy should take that reality into account," Jonathan Monten, a co-author of the study and a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, told US News and World Report."
what about US News, or World Report. do you think Harvard is conservative?
Well, then they should believe war and not protest so our enemies will think we all agree... lol. Then maybe we could leave our troops over there forever. Oh no, my comment made someone insurgent think they can beat america.. ha ha.
