Case in point why we should have a news blackout when we fight wars.  All people need to know is that we are fighting and we are winning.

So we should fight for freedom, but we shouldn't have freedom? Gotcha.

We should have censorship.

Every war longer than 5 days since we stopped censorship has been unpopular and we have had to pull out.  After Vietnam we went through the easy Reagan/Bush Sr victories Grenada, Panama, and Persian gulf I.

Now we can't stomach a real war for our survival.

Why do you hate freedom? Are you a terrorist? I heard they attacked us because they hate our freedom.

Hey, I'm making a connection here between wars we don't have the stomach to fight and a lack of censorship.

If this media was around in WW2, we would've withdrawn after Tarawa and after the slaughter at Anzio.  Then when we found our troops massecerd at Malmedy, we would've tried to understand what we did to make the good ole' SS hate us.  Thank God we had censorship.

Very funny, but not true.
