You guys have probably noticed that there are reporters every where military is over in Iraq. You may also know that we have a few veterans browsing these forums, and they can probably second me on this, when I say that infromation, and the element of surprise are 2 of the most important keys to victory in war. Its been said for a long time that our media, and the freedom of the press often hinders our ability to use those 2 factors, after all, if the enemy ever wants to know what we are doing, just turn on CNN right? This is what I have found absolutly ingenius, the military is not only using the media to intimidate the enemy by showing them how many troops are actually there, and what they are planning to do - they are calling these psyc.ops(Psycological Operaions/Attacks) - but they are also using the media to be an unbias big brother, so when they start saying that we "bombed a daycare center" or whatever, we have it on tape that we wernt even in that area, or we have actual footage of their army in full force around their so called daycare center, so they avoid all that nonsense that soldiers are torturing innocents or whatever like they tried in 91. The military has turned its biggest annoyance in war, to an efficient non-lethal weapon
Once again I am so proud to be an american!
I hope this isnt too political or anything, I was just impressed with the war tactic, I dont think I used any political propoganda, or anything that could offend anyone. If I did, my apologies
