#1 Damn. I can't find words to express how much I admire these men.

I do have to notice, however, that the link doesn't go to an MSM source, but directly to a DoD site. WTF can't the press get these stories out? It's not like they aren't being told about them?

#2 The MSM does not consider these events newsworthy.

#3 The MSM might find these items 'newsworthy', but they just don't fit the "what we want to say" template.

#4 No, no, no. The Military has an agenda, doncha know. We of the press can't just take their word for it, and besides, their writings are leaden with spin.

Our news is independently verifiable, from the comfort of the hotel bar in the Green Zone, or from the stringers who work for us, or Police Captain Jabar.

#5 It doesn't advance the left's agenda, therefore by MSM standards - it's not news.
