4. god bless them. but, I ask again

why are there never reporters or pictures from Afghanistan or Pakistan like this all over the news when we bomb wedding parties or soldiers are blown up by IEDs?

5. I am with you.

Some human suffering we are allowed to experience, and others we are not.

7. A very important question.

If you could find a way to some time post this as a topic, it would be valuable. We cannot see what our military is doing for a reason. Far worse suffering in the name of what? I've seen noncommercial tv station coverage of the invasion in Iraq, and it was frightening and sad. We know the answer to your question. But it needs to be asked over and over, publicly.

12. huh? how would reporters be on the ground when we use drones?

And there are indeed plenty of terrible pictures out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

13. they covered Vietnam

they covered the atrocities and took pictures then, and went right smack into the war zones, reporters, with the troops.
It was on the nightly news and in the papers. I see nothing of those pictures and videos and stories now like it was broadcast then.

and if they can fly down to Haiti, they can fly to Afghanistan and show us whats going on in the war zones.
