Comment - From a story I wrote today for our Online Digest:
Try and ignore the media saturation coverage of the war's minute-to-minute
progress. "I only pay attention to major developments, otherwise I would
find myself worrying needlessly over every event and every reported
casualty," says Robert MacDonald, Vice-President of WORKPOINTS, who is a
combat veteran with a family member serving in Iraq. "I also find that
there are too many media 'armchair generals' offering their own opinions and
criticisms of how the war is being conducted. If you are anxious about the
safety of a loved one, listening to these self-appointed experts will only
make matters worse," he says.
If there's one thing I've learned from reading a lot of military history
over the years, it's that there is no substitute for victory. Nothing will
shut up the CNN "armchair generals" faster than winning the war. I pray it
is soon.
