I see cnredd's point. If this was Obama (before presidency) going there to sell his book and the media was limited by the military, the left would be raising the same question.
The difference is that if I posted the OP here from the left side regarding the scenario above, the right would question my patriotism...ask me why I hate my country...tell me that I should respect the military's decision because they are the ones out on the front lines putting everything on the line for us, the American people.
