We’re a smart country with a hell of a lot of resource at hand; surely we can project one image to the MSM while we project another to political leaders? I can’t believe it's because we've tried our best and failed...my gut is we just don't care "Fuck 'em, they can think what they want"...well honestly that reminds me of a CEO friend I was talking to recently, we were discussing politics in the Board Room, he said "Surely we can have a Boardroom with no politics", I said "Please don't be naive".

"Fuck 'em, they can think what they want"...it most certainly feels like we think like that..."Please don't be naive"

DISCLAIMER: I agree with none of the foreign opinions....but it's what I see...a lot of.

Just MOO

Where do people get their perceptions of America and our military?

What do the MSM print about the US and the military?

How many movies have you seen that reflect positively on the US military since the Vietnam War?

Our own media constantly presents the "America is bad" image for global distribution.

You could never print the bald truth elsewhere, here we allow them to make bad shit up.
