Better to look for yourself, because the left media isn't going to show you the good that our soldiers do, or the sucess they have with their individual missions. The sucess stories aren't good enough to make the headlines for papers such as the New York Times or the Washington Post. It would not serve their political purposes to show you the full picture.
Have a good night everyone.
