I don’t agree that the liberal media (or politicians’) “tones” are “sympathetic.” What they are is condescending. As a former liberal, I remember clearly the assumptions I had about our armed forces. After two of my daughters joined the military (Army and USMC), I educated myself about what our military is really like. What a shock to my delicate, “caring” and totally erroneous assumptions. One cannot have true sympathy for another until after making a sincere effort to truly understand or respect them. The old “walk a mile in his moccasins” thing.
