Is this instant coverage really helpful at all? All I can see when I decide to watch this garbage is nothing but a silly reporter stuffed in the back of a humvee giving his assumptions on what is going on around him at the moment only to have to spend time rehashing what he reported minutes ago once he learned what really happened just to find out something else is about to occur and we have to... oh look... there're flashes on the horizon.......
They make such a joke out of it, I'd rather see that fella who had the skit in the old comedy show "Fridays" tell what is going on with his army man collection. I'd take that more seriously.
Freakin civilians, calling M113's Bradley tanks, talking about reactive armor on our Bradleys that explode to deflect ak47 rounds, and the talking head squeakes in the newsrooms get the complimentary side shot shaking their heads in agreement and looking oh so concerned.
And where do they dig up all these ex-retired-wanna be armchair generals/majors/colonels/ad nauseum to give thier professional opinions on how the war is progressing and what we can expect to come...
Damnit its a war, we will have our soldiers killed, wounded, and captured and we will kill, wound, and capture their soldiers and unfortunately kill and wound their civilians in the process.
If this is the same crap that happened in Gulf War One then I am surely glad to have been over there instead of having to sit through this nonstop blabbering of knownothings.
Ahhh, I feel better now.
