Hey Grunt - I'm a veteran too man. But I gotta say, it's really unwise to put all your eggs in one basket. Fox news has some interesting stories, so does CNN, the BBC, the Tehran Times (iranian news), Al Jazeera (arabic news) Shinwa (Chinese News) .... I could go on.
Humans have innumerable feelings, innumerable situations and so many different outlooks on life it's unbelievable. You can probably find the truth by sorting through as many news and media outlets as possible and determining the median story - where they all come together.
Just because we are veterans doesn't mean that we should let our prejudices (love of God and Country and our fellow brothers-in-arms) determine which news we get our information from.
P.S. Here's something that will blow your mind - the Idea of the President as "Commander in Chief" only came about in the 80's under the Reagan Administration... A PR Stunt that was embraced by the military and the right wing. Nothing is sacred dude.
