War Isn't realy War any more!

I was thinking lately about the war I am supposedly fighting right now in Afghanistan and all the hype I hear about it getting worse over here and it makes me mad. Everyone is saying it is getting worse and the numbers are higher but it is really about the election and not the war. If there was a pole done and people that are talking all this hype about it actually came over here and fought the fight would find out that this is the season for Afghanistan to get alittle more dangerous. The media runs this war and we can not do anything with out there hands and cameras in it. The military is so scared to get in trouble with the medias eyes that we are doing things with hugs and kiss's and not going in and taking care of the bad guys like we all were trained to do. I think that both of the guys running are going to use this war and that is going to decide what happens for the next 4 years of my military career. I personally do not like either of there veiws and they should be over here if they are going to use the war here to win there election then they could talk about what they want to do with the war. Other wise they are just talking alot of BS and alot of people are going to fall for it but not me. They say McCain served well that is good but has he served this war because all wars are differernt and you can not win a war you have no clue about. And Obama has visited troops in the war also good but has he gone outside the wire and got a first hand veiw of what the conditions are like or just words from other soldiers and media. If there was less media in the war we would have less boys and men dieing. Soldiers are so affriad to shot the weapon they were trained to use for fear of being on CNN and going to prison that it has made for an Army full of sissy soldiers instead of super soldiers. I would love to retire from the military but with the way things have been running it looks like things are going to get a lot worse because the media and polotics seem like they know more than they soldiers foighting the fights right now.It would be awsome for the media to post the good things that are going on over here I have been here and have not fired my weapon once since I have been herein the last 6 months. I feel wanted here and safe and the people here like what we do for them. Where is that media and plublicity for the war that we are in nowhere because bad media is good for ratings and that is the publics fault to because we tune in more for the bad stuff than the good. Well I am done venting but I just want to say one moe thing to my In-Laws if you could be over here you would be proud and maybe change your mind about what the military deos because yes I carry a weapon but it is like a missions trip and the people are very happy to see us like a paraide every day when we leave and come back fron the wire kids and adults waving and cheering the whole way. Safe is what I am here and I am glad that I do what I do here but they should really try to show the good evry now and then for what we do over here. Well Thanks for taking the time to read this and maybe it might open your eyes to the BS you might be seeing on the TV all the time. Pray for the soldiers that they all try to get home safe and do not forget that we are here so you can live and be free there. I love being a soldier and doing this for my counrty even though I miss my wife greatly and my daughter so much but I manage and will see you girls sson.
