TV who needs it?

Living so close to the other country with the same name in the North you would think that the military would have a little class. Unfortunately, a friend of mine that did an internship at an embassy in the Pacific was subjected to military tv; he held the same opinion.

I find it funny that the US military attempts to prove to the world that they are the best and baddest military in the world, yet they subject their troops with such stupid basic Kindergarten level propaganda.

Americans must really be stupid if they can be trained to operate ships, planes, submarines, and weapons of mass destruction, but can't buckle their freaking safety belts when driving down the road in their minivans.

OK, in all fairness I have been living overseas for several years and have received some training on cross cultural integration, but some of the propaganda they show is scandalous. Who watches this shit? It is demeaning! OK, in all fairness, it's a carrot and stick routine... I get to watch some favorite tv shows providing I can endure the propaganda... I think I am gonna cancel cable tv. Why have 27 channels when there are only 2.5 you can understand as they are in English; besides I have been living without tv for so long I guess it's the notion of tv that is irritating... Perhaps life without tv is much better?
