Soldier's post regarding the tragedy that killed nine soldiers yesterday
I Laugh at the Media (How Ironic to Say That) Monday, April 23, 2007


I laugh at the media, foreign, domestic, international whatever
Laugh at their reporting
Laugh at their lack of accuracy
Laugh so much inside it makes me sad at the misrepresentation, the errors, the miscalculations...the horror truly not represented or spoken
One report says airplanes dropped bombs at such and such place
One report says only few lost their lives
One report says many places were destroyed, few lives were lost, many were hurt
And finally, truth of the matter is...I saw it up close and personal today, what you may have heard and read today is all wrong.....something major happened, lives were lost, and lives were disrupted.
Wish I could say just how many but I cannot, sorry.

Marty went to school with my daughter and emails her daily, as well as having his own blog site. This is Marty's third tour.

3. This is one reason I only listen to someone who has been there.
I also realize that those who have been in the worst situations talk the least.

K&R for our troops. The devil in the WH has condemned them to hell.

Why can't the truth be told, why does our government lie to us?

11. Wow, first chance I've had to read his other posts.
I can feel the horror in the pit of my stomach, almost as though I were standing next to him.
