Listening to Stephanie Gosks mouth whole try to corrupt everything is painful. The bit in the first video about how the soldiers were taking a defensive posture and her quote "Thats not what we saw" and then going on to describe how the Soldiers used mortars, machinegun fire and air support to attack insurgent positions is retarded, because surely such weapons cant be used when an enemy is attacking you and that such combat is OBVIOUSLY definitive of an aggresive offensive...

The line about how she "fears that the soldiers dont seem concerned about the greater politics going on in Iraq" in concerns to the various political dramas surrounding their mission elicited a big 'No shiat' from me. Their soldiers, their job is to enforce policy, not debate and enact it.

I agree with you there and I don't agree with what she said either. All in all I thought there was some interesting footage so I posted it.

Way to blur everything into an absolute, you a Sith Lord? The point remains. If youre a soldier, and your leader tells you to 'jump' you f--g well jump. You dont spend time trying to determine whether the order to jump was given with proper reflection to the handicap overseas who might take offense at your skillfull jumpiness nor do you question his planning or experiance in concerns to jumping based activities.
