This is something that's been in the back of my head for a LONG time, so I guess it's time to ask the professionals I've seen posting in these forums.
As professionals serving in the defense industry, or the various branches of the militaries of your respective nations, do you believe you are treated fairly and justly by the mainstream media and civillian public in general ? Do you think they "Understand" you enough ?
Does the mainstream News media and public's opinion matter to you AT ALL ? Of course it does to the government ( and sure as hell does when it comes to defense budget/financing decisions etc. ), but does negative or positive public and media opinion have a major psychological impact on the professionals in the industry and the front lines ?
Just need your 2 cents on this, thanks...
