Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie.

We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.

The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.

That's what supporting the troops is really all about - making sure American grunts get the right stuff!

It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.

That's because international Islamic religious fanatics have the same goal as the Axis fascists - the destruction of our way of life.

So it's not a matter of the military lying to the press, but it's the job of the military to deny the press any information that will provide aid and comfort to the enemy.
