The Mainstream Media (MSM) never passes up an opportunity to show the American public (and our enemies, as well) the most horrible, shocking pictures it can lay its collective grubby hands on. Even when the pictures aren't totally shocking, those charged with applying the captions to said photos don't hesitate to invent the sentiment they want to be ascribed to the photos, even when it's not remotely accurate.

Frequent contributor Mr2ears sent me the following shocking photos this morning, having received them from a friend of his who is a Vietnam veteran. The photos show the horrible interactions between our troops serving in Iraq and children. See how horribly the children are being treated. See how our troops show them nothing but contempt, disdain, and an apparent eagerness to do evil to them. (Had you goin' there for a minute? Nope, didn't think so.)
