2. Because War is ugly and Bush does not want that truth out

3. Because that's not the type of 'reality tv' that is supposed to be on
our TV screens! That looks waaay too much like things aren't the happy, wonderful, 'we've built schools", "we've held elections" that Dimson** and his minions keep trying to tell us about. This looks too much like the reality of carnage, death and destruction that the Prince of Darkness doesn't want us to know about.

4. If you watch Mosaic, you see that Arabs get the full uncensored truth on their nightly news.
Here in the Land of the Free we are not allowed to see such images. It might upset the women folk.

5. Besides the gruesome carnage
What's really concerning is that a soldier, when hearing the machine gun fire, had to actually draw his pistol, find a magazine, load it...all the while being told to "take a knee"...ie. find cover. Their leaders aren't training these soldiers adequately.

6. Yep Broken Chain of Command
NCO's should be retrained. Bottom Line we need to be out of there now

7. Well, I agree with the first part and the second part
though the two aren't really related in scope.

If you had said, broken chain of command and retrain NCOs, and left it at that, that would have been adequate.

If you had said "out of there now", and left it at that, that would have been adequate.

But, I think you're talking apples and oranges when you deliver the two thoughts as one. Just my opinion.
