MSM Needs A Punch In The Nose
But that’s just our opinion.
AP reports: “Two American soldiers have been charged with allegedly assaulting two detainees at a U.S.-led coalition base in southern Afghanistan, the military said Sunday.”
Sounds serious. What now?
“The two troops allegedly punched the detainees on the chest, shoulders and stomach while they were being held at a base in Uruzgan province, a statement said. Neither detainee required medical attention, it said.”
Military detainees. Punched, but not in the face. No medical attention required. And this makes a national news headline?
Call it neutering our armed forces. Better reporting would explore why our soldiers used a little physical force against the detainees. Maybe they were being hostile?
But the MSM would never give our military the benefit of the doubt.

Our media never gave this much attention to allegations of abuse of POWs during the 1940’s.
