Well, I didn't listen to the report. I just read the short report. Pretty interesting information, just didn't appreciate the marginalizing of our efforts.

What jumped out at me was the lack of ANY media mention of our AF support!
As a former AF Avionics troop, I KNOW those boys are busting ass!

I'm sorry man, and I hate to say this, but the only branches that the media wants to report on are the Army and Marines. Why? Not because we're cooler or anything like that. No, simply because Marines and soldiers are getting killed and maimed handfuls at a time. Unfortunately the liberal media doesn't care who is working hard supporting the war effort. They only care about how many are being killed in this gruesome war, so that is all that they show on the news. In the eyes of the media the Air Force doesn't even exist over there.
