The public has tragically become numb to the daily reports of soldier deaths. maybe you have but I doubt that patriotic Americans will ever become "numb" to troop deaths Just like article you posted states, the average American isn't directly affected by the wars because the government refuses to ask to raise taxes in order to pay for it.


In one breath you want them home, in the next you criticize the plan to pull them out. Can't bring the soldiers home without (as in your words) forfeiting.
stop dancing around it...the media can't advance the agenda of the left right now by criticizing the troops and the wars and the President to gain political advantage....it's that simple...kick Obama's ass out in 2012 and if there are still troops abroad fighting...the media will suddenly become fixated again
