Anyone watch the Ken Burns WW2 on PBS? Notice how different the media covered WW2 compared to Iraq?
kimmyisahotbabe asked:
People got their news from films produced by the military. They didn’t show a picture of a dead American soldier until months after the war started. No one in the media was suggesting it was Roosevelts war, designed to end the depression, which Roosevelt had been unable to do for 10 years. We lost 100,000 soldiers per year, about 2,000 per week. No one was publishing lists of the dead, and asking is it worth it?

It is any wonder everyone supported WW2 and they don’t support the war in Iraq?
