What You Won't See on the News About Haiti

For some reason our news reporters don't like to portray the United States in ANY light that might make us look good. We have hundreds of hours of footage of victims of the Haiti earthquake crying for relief, but precious few of the people who are working around the clock to try to bring that relief. Don't get me wrong, there is real need, but the slant on the story is that we are not doing enough to help.

Want to know what the hold up is?

Yeah. Haiti is broken.

So we have to fix it first.

You can't dock a ship to a pier that is underwater (although apparently France tried), so you have to improvise. And our military is good at that.

We are awesome. Even if no one wants to admit it.

Prayers to all our military and those devastated in Haiti.

Thanks to the Bayou Renaissance Man for pointing it out. Check out his post for a much more detailed description of what our men and women are dealing with.
