Military propaganda in full swing in Olympia and Tacoma newspapers
Edited on Sun May-07-06 10:35 AM by Newsjock
Have a look-see at the front pages of the (supposedly competing) newspapers this morning in Olympia and Tacoma, Wash. Both are near Fort Lewis and McChord. Then wonder ... just how did these papers come up with almost the same exact story, by different reporters, on the same day?

Olympia Tacoma

Olympia: The fight for life in war / McChord reservists in Iraq show that improved medical care means more come home alive
Tacoma: Saviors with scalpels / South Sound medics in Iraq ensure 96% survival rate at Balad Air Base

1. Wonder if they both got the same deal to print it?
How much does it cost to get a slimeball to print some propoganda?

2. I'll bet there is no discussion of what survival means
especially when they're talking about head and spinal cord injuries. That's where their improved survival rates are coming from; soldiers with limb and trunk injuries always had a decent survival rate.

That increased survival rate means an increase in shattered human beings who will need medical care for the rest of their lives at a time the Repuglicans are cutting the funds for such care and the ability of them to get it.

Repuglicans are evil. War is evil. This is not good news.
