I too have more than twenty friends that I am in contact with(some of which I served with during my 12 years of service) that are currently serving in Iraq...or have returned from Iraq (most of them that have returned will probably be going back at some point)...and everyone of them report a different "big picture" than the media reports. We all know that the media reporting dwells upon the negative and not the positive...they think that is what attracts viewers and they are probably right about that.

King... this "media" stuff and "different pictures"... - that just don't stand up.
It is well-known what the hell is going on there, irrespective of the slants of media.
I sat and listened to a young man who was actually "proud" that he managed to shoot some folks while in Iraq. I wasn't the only one who was speechless listening to that shit.
Don't expect some solider to show a "big picture" - they ain't got a clue.
Don't expect the "leadership" to show a big picture either - they have lied persistantly about this. Next week they are announcing "Iraqi Flower Day" when all "insurgents" are going to throw petals over the US troops.
The whole world "knows" what is going on. That is the fundamental reason they want no part of it - at least until the US is outta the place and a legitimate government in place.
Ya can paint pictures till doomsday - rest assured, none of them are rosy scenarios - for anyone.
