But of course and perhaps we shouldn't be acknowledging where our Special Operations teams and units are and what they may or may not be doing. I just wish there were a way to keep the media out of this. In my opinion, the media isn't helping anyone really, except the enemies of America, in most cases.
And what's up with the Pentagon and all these "condition of anonymity" and "unnamed government official" statements?? If they can't go on record they should keep their mouths shut. Just my .02 of course.
I've been following the story at the blog of a Frogman:

Wise council there, wisdom and his priorities are in order.

lI feel that like everything lse in the world ### is at the root of the evil of the media. If it weren't so profitable to create and report news this would stop. Just think, there is enough commercial sponsorship to support five 24/7 news channels.
I still think the Pentagon needs to go after the "leaks".
I suppose our commanders could answer with "None of your f***ing business" but they wouldn't last long. I was pulling SDNCO at Bragg once and one of the local shylocks called up and said one of our troops owed him money. I replied that that was a personal problem and I'd never loan the individual in question a cent. Very shortly I was standing in front of the CSM.  |
