To All News Agencies: You have reached a new level of despair in your attempts to improve viewership. To use our military as fodder for the lazy, brain-dead TV audiences of America is so shameful that it defies sanity. You cheapen the soldier's sacrifices and courage by trying to elevate a bunch of Rambo-wannabe "journalists" to their level. From the msn.com article -- http://entertainment.msn.com/news/article.aspx?news=116042 "Co-producer Bertram Van Munster and his camera crew received approval to tag along with the soldiers..." "Tag along" is an appropriate description for this bunch of morons, which includes all news agency management. They are a liability to the soldiers, and I hope they get captured before they bring harm to the true heroes of America. Furthermore, the idiots at the White House who concocted this dangerous stunt need to have their heads permanently removed from their bodies. I guess the Bush administration will do ANYTHING to promote its maniacal plans to invade Iraq, Iran, Syria, N. Korea, etc.... Your networks are in dire straits, fellas. I hope you lose your jobs very soon. Your stupidity cannot sustain you much longer. Sincerely, SJ Benoit Father of a US Marine; Father-in-Law of a USAF pilot; Son of a Purple-Heart US Marine (WW II)
