The problem is there is no fkn perspective

Precise reason that there shouldn't be camera's. If they aren't going to show the guys from the day before being human booby traps then they don't need to be showing this either. I've never seen combat but I think I can have some appreciation for what is going on there. I don't give much of the rest of the non combatant populous much credit for being able to connect those dots. In fact there are so many with an agenda I'm not sure if you even gave them perspective they would understand.

I will think about what you said. We should not grow too fond of it.

I think Americans should be exposed to combat via TV.

For perspective I think MSM should show both sides.

I couldn't agree more.

For perspective I think MSM should show both sides. If an American Marine can be televised shooting people in combat, the decapitations of civilians and shooting of GIs should be televised in their entirety too.
