Do you know?

It depends what you are reading but generally you can't believe what is published most of the time. Newspapers and television like to capture our attention with headlines that, when full knowledge of the story is acquired that same headline will read quite differently. As for the statement you made about 'Another achievement' it depends on how you look at the situation, I guess some can call it an achievement to kill people in a war situation; I call it sad and sick, but hey that's just me.

Actually, the media really enjoys telling us about the innocent lives so that we will be against the military. They fail so many times in telling us the true accomplishments. They really like to slant things depending on what they want the public to think. IF they want us to be anti-military manuevers they tell us of the innocent people killed... and there are many. If their desire is for us to be pro-military they tell us of advancements in programs and stuff like that... you just can't listen to everything as though it is the gospel!

Well I think you'll have to give more specific examples then your vague claims. Sure news sources spin the news, this isn't new, this is ancient. As for the Army killing innocents, well innocents die often in war. Its terrible, tragic, and should be condemned, however it happens. This doesn't mean that the soldiers are bad or anything. Also some of the so called innocents aren't really all that innocent at all. War is a messy business, and only the soldiers who have fought in war can tell you just how messy it is.

Depends on your news source, plenty of news channels in the UK and US tell when civilians are accidentally killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Equally they say when troops are killed, locals killed by Taleban or when people are kidnapped. Most news sources are fair or else they wouldn't be given the license to report.
