It's the critics fault

Some Senators are blaming critics of the war for falling recruitment. Maybe falling recruitment is a sign of people's opinion of the war. How would they like the war portrayed in the media? Fun, exciting, dodge roadside bombs with your friends.

"With the deluge of negative news that we get daily, it's just amazing to me that anybody would want to sign up," said Sen. Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican. So should we hide the truth, and convince everyone that war is wonderful? It seems like the more we understand the real awful reality of what happens daily, the more we will try to do in the future to prevent war. As America's support for the war diminishes, we are all realizing that more should have been done to avoid going there in the first place. In the days of smart bombs and the video game like attacks from afar, it doesn't seem so bad. Sure, just bomb them, no problem. Well we are seeing that it still can't be done in an easy sterile way. It's probably a good wake up call for the nation. War sucks, lets try and prevent it. Lets try and avoid it. Lets try to make our policy such that we are a world leader and a world citizen. Not a world bully.
