Military week 5-11 Nov A Chad-, dashhopes, spursfanfromaround and jbmemegeek event

But soldiers' deaths are reported on the news :o

Not often. It isn’t interesting enough.

They report it occasionally but they don’t run whole stories like they do for celebrities

True

What ever brings them more money

They have their agendas which might not always align with bipartisan politics but sometimes it does. The elite agree on a lot when it comes to the silent war against the middle/lower classes...

Yeah, it sucks too!

You're right buddy, the media never says a damn word. They will say it when it looks bad for a Republican. The media here is almost as bad as North Korea's.

Nope all they care about is the story of him

This angers me, we care about celebrities way to much, we should be giving our time and respect to our heroes not Justin Bieber, this is way society is screwed

Exactly!

you right on the money with that

Get rid of the Oscars and have a Celebrate Heroes night instead.

Your right, that really freaking sucks

The media absolutely disgusts me these days.
I learn more from here than on the news.
Hell I even learned about the fight that was at my school from my friends rather than the news.

Sad but true.

yea unfortunately it is true

Well then we need to start taking steps to thank our surviving veterans and pray for those over in the middle of this wretched mess.

So moving......

thank you

Whenever the news says some random crap about a random celebrity, I like to ignore it and wonder "When will the media care about soldiers?".

I also think the pay is all wrong. I mean, yea i know that some desk job may be very complicated so you get payed a lot for it, but you're telling me that someone who risks their lives everyday like military and police get paid practically nothing? they need increased pay. it's just criminal.

We also need to stop screwing over veterans. That's the real travesty...

Yes that is also true.

I know what you mean. When Japan had that massive earthquake CNN was more concerned about Charlie Sheen quitting a sitcom than with covering the devistation

.... and the ones who play good villians are often nice people:))

that's just strange for it to be reversed like that there has to be a reason but who knows why.

Its only because nowadays people are idiots who take there freedome for granted and dont stop to think that this freedom came with the price of thousnds and millions of lives lost. they think freedom is a given. well if those vets hadnt served for our wonderful country then we wouldnt have freedom.

Back in the "Good old Daze" of the W Administration - they kept the video of Coffins (transit tubez) being offloaded in Maine - from being filmed at all.

"Optics" - was the reason. The Poverty Draft wasn't drawing in enough and we were begining the ENDLESS war they'd been planning since the HW daze - so they didn't like images which brought prospective recruits back to the reality of War.

I support the people. Not sure who the Pentagon works for....

That's because they don't want you thinking about all of the deaths of soldiers which would get everyone upset and they would lose money on their never-ending war machine.

And the politicians that sent them off to die are okay with that.
