had mentioned the only news our troops get over there is Fox. That is just another outrage. Is there something we can do? Why don't the other channels make sure they see them too, even though they are just as bad (almost) Do the troops ever get ahold of computers and log on to DU? Bless their hearts!

1. THey get armed forces radio and tv

the networks have no say what is on that.

2. I think a lot of them see enough truth

right in front of their eyes. Besides, CNN and MSGOP are nearly just as bad as Fox.

3. Not only in the military

My daughter tells me that her high school puts on Fox when a breaking news story is expected. Like right after the Repukes stole the election. She said she would never know about the charges of election fraud if she didn't hear me at home.

4. hey it is a volunteer army, there isn't a draft

most of the soldiers not only supported the war, but also this president

people pay for the consequences of their actions, good or bad

This was the same crap that happened during the Viet Nam war, especially during the beginning of our involvement there

When Clinton and McCain recently went to Iraq, they both indicated that we should have permanent bases there. Obviously, they also do not learn from the lessons of history

We are in the middle of a civil war, which we have created, in Iraq, but are too stupid to realize it

5. Armed Forces Radio also airs Lush Limpball for 2-3 hours a day

So much for non-partisan news speak. The movie "Good Morning Viet Nam" was an excellent example of how the military controls the information that it allows the troops to have. Of course, in today's media world it is much harder to hide the truth when we have cell phones and digital cameras and people who are willing to get the truth out. Don't look to the MSM to help out they are in the back pocket of Chimp & Co but it will get out - look at the prison torture scandal. We are just left wondering how many more kids have to die before for the closed-minded, robots that voted for this "moran" to get the full picture.

6. I know he isn't every Leftie's cup of tea, but it would be nice if

we could get Ed Schultz on AF Radio. Franken would be good, but I think it's more important to have someone with a similar personality to Oxycontin Rush.

While I know many Lefties consider him too moderate, he would play well over there and at least they would hear that the Left supports the soldiers and an all-too important opposition view.

8. I agree - Big Eddie's the one. (n/t)

9. it would be nice, but it wouldn't happen

the reason Ed would be better is because he was a right wing guy until he say the light

7. That is the fault of the military, not the networks.

They also make sure to broadcast Limbaugh every day.
