#2 Dammit! Take some fucking videos!!!

Lead every press conference with them.

Put them on the evening news (yeah I know.. the MSM will never show them... but FOX might).

Smear it all over YOUTUBE.

Show the 'holy warriors' ups as the dishonorable cowards they are before the entire world.

Fight the media war.

#3 Fight the media war.

The Generals don't want to fight the media war because it would acknowledge that all wars are fought on two fronts, the other being the homefront. They outsourced that fight to the enemy and MSM [I know that's redundant]. They haven't figured out what Pvt Snuffy figured out years ago about exploiting alternative media distribution effectively. Oh, they play as they know what they're doing, but they're just going through the motions.

#4 You know they are losing when they resort to hiding behind women's skirts.

Fucking cowards.

#5 They've always hid behind women's skirts, Darth.

Except when they're hiding in them.

#6 What Barbara said. They think such behaviour clever and resourceful, not cowardly.
