This is so fucked up, I never expected all this to be so live. Whenever I watch tv now I go straight to a 24hr news channel.

The most ridiculous bit so far happened today when there was live front line action - you know the one, where the yanks fired that missle and hit the target followed by cries of "YEAH!" and whooping - it was ridiculous because the general in charge who was shouting the orders was later interviewed and asked how it went.

Just like sportsmen are interviewed after an event.

It's fucking mad.

(Its also cool as fuck :) )

It's all staged. They're really filming it near Elko Nevada. This will become a new reality TV series

:lol: :lol: I think that it's better this way that we get to watch the war live. In the Vietnam War it was live to an extent, and it was edited and stuff, so we didn't get the full story. This way we get too se everything going on as it happens. I think it's pretty amazing to watch it happen then look at pictures.

I can't think of any problems I have with it. I think it's an excellent way of keeping the public up to date with the War. As soon as they show some soldier getting his head blown off or a Reporter getting tossed up in the air by a mortar round it is all over though. :|

Wild, isn't it? 8)

It is indeed a great way to watch. You just have to sit in awe at the sheer power of war. It's amazing.

Those had footage, but I don't think they were live.

Anybody else seen those British troops fucking up that house at night? It then shows one of them running outside, he was on fire. :o :(

Vietnam was the first tv wart but this is the first one that has live shots from the battlefield.

Not in the same league, there's just no sensorship with this one. If it's live and shit happens, your gonna see it
