    Well when i was deployed my parents read and heared (tv, paper) things and eventually asked me about it and i was like, what?? Most of it was bull. Some where sort of correct but moslty it was horseshit or twisted.

      Yeah, that seems about right. I agree that treating all news as propaganda is good advice, and there’s a certain resolution of detail that we’ll probably not be able to get right for a while if ever.

      But I think it’s dangerous to dismiss the possiblity of getting to the truth at all.

        That is all, just be wary and read everything with caution. Dont need to dismiss everything but just be wary.
