4 Servicemen died in Afghanistan but the military wants your eyes on this?

4 Servicemen died in Afghanistan.  3 by enemy gunfire, and 1 by an explosion.

But what are we getting from military Public Affairs Offices?

We're getting inundated with news of the "feel good" story of the moment....the Pakistan relief effort.

We should all be ashamed.  You and I for not pushing our military's Public Affairs Officers to turn back on the tap of information from the war zone and the military for embargoing news of the conflict.

Here are a couple of photos of what THEY want your attention on.
UPDATE.
My buddy Marcase seems to doubt me on the 'lack' of news and information coming out of Afghanistan.  Well consider this.  The above photos are what we're seeing now.  Those below are what was coming out in April and May.

You be the judge.  Also consider that since the McCrystal firing, the info has been beyond sparse...we aren't seeing it.
