Fox&MSNBC News has anyone given any thought about where and why all of these Retired Military Officers giving all of this Armchair information come from & why do the News Broadcasters think that the American Public believes all that is being said.Especialy someone like John S McCain an Naval Aviator telling a US Army General how to run Military Tactics on the ground.

Which bloggers are you referring to? As for TV people, I like Oliver North reporting for FOX. He was a Marine Infantry Company Commander in Vietnam, I believe, and those guys are second to none when it comes to leading men and warfighting.

As for John McCain, he is sometimes inconsistent, but nobody is perfect.

I like Like North but the ones I am talking about I can't even name all of their names but if you turn on to Fox News or MSNBC about once a week they have a Retited Military Officer usualy a Gen.they use I think they call a Military anylaist.

Yes Sully, I know exactly what you are talking about. As far as the people believing everything that is being said, well I don't think the believe EVERYTHING, but probably more than they should. The reason is, is because total civilians probably wouldn't take into consideration your mentioning about a Naval Aviator giving advice on ground tactics...

I know what you are saying it is almost like when we chased Hussian back to Bagdad the first time he went back waving that old Rifle saying he had won a great victoy I told my brother we had left a job unfinished and he called me a Warmonger.

We DID leave the job unfinished! Unfortunately, the kurds and other innocent Iraqis paid the price, particularly when Bush Sr. told the Iraqi people to rise up and they did expecting us to help and we handed them their own 'bay of pigs'.
