Perhaps we are both being lied to.
I doubt seriously that soldiers I've spoken with personally are lying. They don't HAVE to lie about the government - this isn't Iraq. They don't HAVE to uphold patriotism.

They're simply, and honestly, saying that the Mainstream Media is NOT telling the whole truth about Iraq. Not even close.

And for my money, I'll take the word of my friend the Army Chaplain over the words of Dan Rather any day.
