'We are not losing in Iraq'
Thank you tremendously for printing Capt. Paul Carron's letter to the editor ("A soldier challenges the Hollywood left," Friday). As a soldier who also has served in Iraq, I find it increasingly frustrating to hear liberal Hollywood or biased members of the press influence public opinion with lies. If you want to know what's going on in Iraq, talk to a soldier. Americans need to listen to their sons, daughters, brothers and sisters who are serving.
Our public is saturated with information; most of it is hypersensitized or flat-out wrong. If it bleeds, it leads, right? We need responsible journalists and broadcasters who keep their natural biases in check.
We are not losing in Iraq, despite the valiant efforts of some back home who continually supplant that message and headline, because ... well, it sounds a lot better than, "We are in it for the long haul and slowly but steadily building a nation."
Thank you for giving the soldiers a voice.
