This article has a misleading title, but the President makes several good points and is worth a good read. The President states that it appears that we aren't doing anything but getting shot in Iraq when that's not the case. There are tons of things that happen that don't get into the newspapers and on the front page of CNN's website. Many of our guys are involved in things that even other people in the military don't know about. And, unfortunately, you can't publish everything that does go on there because of classified information about tactics and statistics that our guys over there use.
Make no mistake, war is an ugly beast. A soldier will see things that you and I will never see. They've seen, heard, and smelled death up close and personal. An extremely small minority commits a war crime, it's all over the front page of every newspaper in the nation. His name, face, and alleged crime is known by all. But how many of you ever hear about when our guys build schools, hospitals and other infrastructure that didn't exist even before we went to war? How many times do you hear about our guys doing a raid and capturing lower and mid level insurgents? How many times do you hear about us saving lives because we foiled a suicide bomber?
Just because you don't hear about it, doesn't mean it's not happening.
