60th. Anniversary of Iwo Jima

Compare America of then with America of today. Our soldiers are every bit as good. And roughly half the nation still supports our country in time of war. But, the media is almost unanimously anti-American.

The image of the the Marines raising the flag on Mount Suribachi is now iconic, and was made so by a media that loved America. There have been similar images since 9/11, but they are largely suppressed by the media because showing them would inspire "jingoist nationalism," which is another word for patriotism.
