  • It's sad, but most of the American public doesn't care about how the Iraqis are living or how many American troops die in Iraq. They are more interested in the latest gossip about Britney Spears and Hillary Clinton. If we attack Iran, they won't care either. It just doesn't matter to people. That's sad.

  • I don't agree that the press "deserves the muzzle" because they disagree with either the war itself or its tactical execution. We don't suspend the Constitution when we go to war.

  • Scaredweepel, I'm sure you know more than Extremebeats about what happened since it's HIS SON'S UNIT. Are YOU Ashley Gilbertson or what?

    A reporter should at least show preference to the soldiers assigned to protect him out of sheer respect !!!

    This guy isn't even American and he throws US troops under the bus, figuratively and literally!

  • This reporter was imbedded with my sons unit in Fallujah. These videos are very hard to watch. This reporter was responsible for the death of Billy Miller. He told the Marines there was a dead insurgent in the mineret, the dead insurgent shot and killed Billy Miller & injured two others. The only reason the Marines went into the mineret was to protect the journalists. By his own words, he does not consider the emotional state of the families when he takes pictures of our troops. Very sad !
