War As Entertainment

Check out what your tax money is paying for when reporters are embedded with your troops.

Kevin Sites has been embedded several times with American forces.
He’s making a living out of it and Yahoo! is paying him for it.

Kevin Sites is walking around with an Iraqi soldier's dog tags. 1. That is illegal. 2. That is confusing for the soldiers and marines forced to work there. 3. That is a spoil of war and he is guilty of looting.

Take a look at Michael Herr's book : 'Dispatches'. Kevin Sites' style is so close to that book about Vietnam that it is offensive.

Yahoo! News seemed to be moving in the right direction until they put Kevin Sites in the field.

He is not a reporter to me. His work seems to be more like interference. He actually called out to a commander in the field during a tactical operation. Do you understand how confusing that can be to the 18 and 19 year old young men wired up to stay alive so that they might be able to come home? He is wearing a dog tag from an enemy soldier as a ‘souvenir’. He had to get hustled out of Iraq before some blew his head off for taking a video of a young marine in a platoon shooting a rebel who had been abandoned the day before by another platoon that hadn’t bothered to mark their location. The video was spread all over the world in a matter of hours.

He must have a death wish. What is he really there for?

Looks like he is writing a book. American soldiers and Marines are getting killed and Kevin Sites is taking a free ride.

Yahoo! News from Kevin Sites? That’s not news.

'Reflections from the Hot Zone? How about hallucinations from the Pot Zone?

It's not just Kevin Sites. America loves war. We are sick, twisted and fanatical people at war with a country that didn't attack us. But it's entertaining. Hooo ahhh!!
