ABC and a POSITIVE portrayal of our soldiers and Sacrifice

In what had to be a short sighted mistake, the ABC News Anchor tonite quoted a Service Man killed in Iraq. The soldier from Murfreesboro died near the end of his second tour of duty in Iraq that he VOLUNTEERED for.
The Soldier said in a letter to his son, " We fight and sometimes die, so that our family does not have to." Do we not owe these men our support in fighting this war?
ABC, and other news organizations do almost anything to denegrate this war and what it is about. Today they trotted out a grieving son, only to make the point that Conservative's and others are making. OUR MEN CHOOSE to go and to serve. They chose to fight terror where it is born, and to refuse to provide support, and to micro manage the war, is wrong.
Shame on the news media for failing to support these courageous men.
