the media plays such a large role in today's society. Back in WWII, the media was filled with propaganda. Without that propaganda we definately wouldn't have had the home support that we did. You didn't really hear about 'controversial' wars until Vietnam. Why? Well that's due to the damn media reporting every single death. In my opinion, the media needs to get the hell out of these wars. I know I know, the military has asked many of the news agencies to put reporters there with the soldiers for documentary purposes. But I still don't think it's worth risking homeland support.
