Another fact the MSM won't tell you

Did you know that a TV camera mounted on the shoulder looks remarkably like a Soviet anti-tank missile launcher? Normal American folks have never put any stock in the silly claims of journalists that American tankers deliberately fired on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad because they wanted to kill journalists. That is because we have faith in the character of our military. American Thinker has an article that points out facts that journalists ought to check out.
While teaching Media and Military relations at the U.S. Army’s Command and General Staff College I had occasion to show to my students two photographs – one photograph was of a television journalist aiming a camera, the other of a man aiming a shoulder-mounted anti-tank missile of Soviet manufacture. To my students, all experienced officers of many years service and representing not only the United States but a number of other nations, the photos were virtually indistinguishable. It was a sobering experience for them.
