I never said it was. What I was elaborating on is how the modern media would show images of our pilots slaughtering the masses and equate the pilots with war criminals. If you had images of this on todays' television, the left would be screaming bloody murder in the U.S.
Since you live in Romania, you may not be privy to all of the self-hatred/loathing the left has for our country. Every day I turn on the news, there is some Communist wannabe screaming how much he/she hates this country, hates everything it stands for, and is embarrassed to be an American. If they hate it so much, why don't they find a nice plot of land in China, Cuba, North Korea, or Vietnam? Good luck to them. I love it when celebrities say if a certain political candidate wins office, they will move to France or whatever is the country du jour that day, but they stay after that candidate wins anyway. The media is always looking for a sound bite to embarrass this country and, frankly, myself and millions of others are tired of it. It is very tolling day after day.
I wish we could all work together to make this a better country, but it will never happen, unfortunately. You can see the moral tug o' war being fought between religious people and atheists, left and right, socialists/commies and libertarians, pro-baby killers and pro-lifers, etc. The list goes on and on. Everyone is always fighting. Anyway, enough for now. I need to go to a happy place. Ummmmmmmmmm. LOL
