6. they don't even mention Iraq.

PBS shows the fallen when they have the information. Out of mind and out of sight for the American public, (for some of the American public, I exclude us here) those guys are being hostage out in Iraq, and more suicides will be occuring among our troops too. Mental Health issues are climbing and they are not being treated, despicable and these thugs yell out Support the Troops, how hypocritical they are.
