Regarding the OP, it's bad form and lazy reporting to contact someone through an internet forum. I had a journalist try to contact me through TFP (The_Jazz can verify this) and I found it was entirely inappropriate.
That said, we're not seeing an honest depiction of war in the media. At all. A lot of information is censored, and a lot of other information is radically sensationalized. Why? If there was no information, people would be up in arms, so they have to give us something, but if the public were given an objective look, both wars would have lost support immediately. I want to see the caskets of fallen soldiers on TV. I want to see broader troop movement, successes, and failures. I want everyone from our highest leaders to our lowest ground commanders to have to answer the "why the hell are we doing this?" question without being able to fall back on meaningless rhetoric. While I don't approve of the methods, I can appreciate and even laud the tenacity of a reporter or journalist trying to report more of the truth than we normally get.
