I say they don't show ENOUGH! They should show the raw feeds. For all the peaceniks that think we're making up all this stuff, I'd say watch! The bullets ripping through a human head, the cadavers, the landmine destruction...I say show it! TV gives us some candy coated version that gives us just a taste, but not too much! After seeing the Vietnam marches in California as a kid, I remember the sounds, the screaming, the Police, but I didn't know what these confused people were so angry about! Let there be no mistake that I believe war to be a last ditch, a last resort. I don't think it's painless, and I don't relish it either. It's time to de-mystify TV. It's time America saw that it's not all Ward & June Cleaver or Will & Grace! Let there be no doubt about the ugliness that's going on in Iraq as I type this. Let America see the carbombing cowards pull up to our servicemen, let them see a maintenence clerk hold off a platoon of Republican Guard with an M-16 till she's out of ammo. After 24 hours of that kind of TV I'm sure any tree-hugging, save the whale t-shirt wearing, sign waving, yogurt eating peacenik will be screaming at the top of their lungs to NUKE them to Hell! If you're getting too much exposure or it makes you feel uncomfortable turn the TV off! It doesn't make the war or whats happening go away because you turn the channel!
It's a fine line between fact and fiction. TV loves to show the fiction.
