I'll agree with QRQ 30.

The media can be our best friends at times (at least that's what they tell you), and will always look to burn the easy engagable targets. I read a detailed story yesterday of a West Point Graduate being convicted on manslaughter charges. He supposedly forced 2 Iraqi's into a river and one subsequently drowned. Don't get me wrong, the few troops out there doing the wrong thing should be punished accordingly, but let the media get ahold of it and it'll somehow be a command decision at the highest levels. I guess micromanagement runs rampant through the halls of the Pentagon.
