I'm done with ISAF.
They issue nothing but fluff pieces and have been doing so for so long that I've gotten in the habit of ignoring most of their stuff out of hand.
This press release just pushed me over the edge and now I'm done.
1. No one was injured.
2. They stated that it was a precautionary landing.
3. Initial reports are stating that no enemy activity in the area.
4. All personnel have been recovered.
Then why not tell us the unit and helicopter type!
This war has gone from being reported to having the news managed. Most images (I'd say at least 90%) are simply fluff pieces telling us how great the ANA is.
They've been telling us that shit for at least 8 years now.
ISAF Public Affairs Office can kiss my ass.

Never liked isaf public affairs. They always show up all clean and rested and want to talk to you after you've been out all day. Or go out with you where they do nothing.but draw fire (because who doesn't.want to shoot at people on camera?) And get in the way when your trying to fight or interupt you in conversation with locals.
ReplyDeleteCombat camera is far better
totally agree! combat camera has real deal Marines (or Soldiers...whoever) and they do get it.
ReplyDeleteISAF? not so much. correction. they don't get it at all.
