Apparently, whenever the US decides they need to teach a smaller country a lesson, the world's television networks pile into the fray like flies to shit.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we have endless proselytising and wild guessing by former nobodies, plucked from obscurity for this very purpose.
Let's
insert a dose of reality here: Put a few video feeds from each military aircraft in the conflict, and a satellite uplink, feed the signal live to the studios of the Gun Camera Channel, and have the world view the reality of war, as it happens.
Maybe it will result in a reduction in the sheer number of televised hours of talking heads with nothing to say... though I doubt it.

Didn't they do this in the first Gulf War with cameras mounted on missiles? Forgive me if I'm mistaken - I was only 10 at the time. |
|
| |
The camera-equiped weaponry would be sent to some pastoral environ and used only for target practice. |
|
| |
I was hoping this would shoot warning shots, with the occasional hit - at those talking heads who divulge too much sensitive information. Namely on the US abc news netwoik. |
|

We're certainly getting 24-hour live on-target video. Pretty freaky, but it's nice to see where our tax dollars are going, real-time. |

[Having watched real-time as my friends died in the WTC, I'm afraid I'm with Bush on this one.] |

We could get it to do that, [thumb]. It seems stupid to warn people there are B52s taking off in England, when they have several hours flight time to Baghdad/Mosul/Kirkuk/Tikrit |

I agree with you on this one, but I think the camera should go into the optics of the solders guns. This way people could see the front lines with out there being reporters there. I know the reporters are trained but they still must get in the way sometimes. This would keep our troops safe and show a more graphic view of war. Showing how it really is and not some glorified Hollywood version could solve some of the war squabble. |

I have fired guns and I know their power and the damage they can inflict. I don’t want to see it taken lightly. War is a terrible gruesome thing and I feel that people should see what they are waging. |

Of course this channel couldn’t be public. It would have to be cable or some type that has parental controls. |
|

Why? Perhaps kids need to learn the sheer horror of war, before they are old enough to repeat the errors of the previous generation? |
|

People need to realize we are human. There is no reason for “tribal” wars. We as people, posses the knowledge and ability to create peace. Ignorance and anger are our enemies. |
