Well stated. Agree with most of your comments, especially about the media. They do like to look at all things from a negative prism and truly make issues hotter than they need to be. The problem is that our enemies are encouraged by our divisions and play to the media. It's been said by smarter people than us that this war can't be won militarily. It is an ideological strugglle and whoever can control the media/public opinion is going to win. If they win....the whole world loses. --Ziobuck feeling we are in the end times.
