The Other Side

Over at Blackfive you will find this moving account of Someone You Should Know He gives us a glimpse of what some of the other soldiers are doing over there - definitely a perspective worth focusing on.

That's what doesn't seem to be making the evening news. Accounts of American valor are dismissed by the press as propaganda, yet accounts of American difficulties are heralded as objectivity. It makes you wonder if the role of the media is to inform, or to depress - to report or to deride. To tell the truth, or to feed us lies.
Read the whole thing, you'll be glad you did.

I read the post a bit ago and you're right it is something to be read in full -- and gives proper perspective during a time when the dems and lib media only want to show our service members as abusers.
