Heroes

I've made this point before, but it needs to be made again.

During World War II the media did a great job encouraging the American people, especially during the early, dark days. They did this, not by sugar coating the defeats and losses, but by highlighting the small victories and--especially--the heroism of our soldiers. The media today seems to have it just backwards. They highlight every mistake and defeat, and totally ignore the courage of the men and women who are fighting the war.

There are over a hundred of these stories at http://www.defenselink.mil/heroes/. I'm convinced that America's attitude about the war would be completely different if the media would simply report some of them.
