Media coverage at its best

First off, good luck and God speed to those heading back out to the Sandbox. I tell ya, though, we gotta love our media! Any person or country seeking to do us harm doesn't even need any kind of intelligence. Our media provides most of it for them! In this article alone, pertinent info is given: The unit, the number of personnel involved, their purpose, where they will be located, and numerous other bits of intel that can be used by the enemy. Why don't we finish it up and let everyone know exactly what equipment and arms will be brought, as well as the flight plan and time?! In fact, let's list the commands' strengths and weaknesses...you know, so the enemy knows exactly how they can do the most damage. Genius!

Your Patriotism to a head of state seems to more important than your responsibility to your own 17 month old. Time to re assess priorities!

We'll see you when you get to Fort Bliss. Where it really isn't bliss.

Sometimes being (anonymous) is a good idea...If you would have stayed that way, it would have been a better idea.

Bliss

I can't agree more with SFC Keene. I left el paso the second I was able to go. But on the other hand it is Bliss compared to Iraq. I know first hand how tough it is on family so be strong!

As a former Intel Analyst, "Media coverage at its best" is right on. We look forward seeing a Reserve Unit come to replace an Active Duty Unit out of Ft Drum, NY. Enjoy Camp McGregor at Ft Bliss. Been there and still in the fight at Camp Taji, Iraq. Stay Army Strong.

Anonymous doesn't get the idea that by defending our nation, we defend our families as well.

And yes, as OPSEC goes, our national media really needs to decide which side it's on when we go to war.
