MJ vs. the military

Aug 11, 2009 10:41

So, I was invited this morning to join a cause on Facebook: "Support the 13 Troops Who Gave Their Lives & Never got a Headline because of Michael Jackson." And it just frustrated me so much! I mean, yes, the men and women who fight to protect their countries are brave and amazing. But military service is not the ONLY way to be valuable to humanity ( Read more... )

They shouldn't blame it on Michael, they should blame the media for what they choose to report.

This! I'm a military wife...my brother is currently deployed, and I don't see why these people have their knickers in a twist. The news only reports what they think people want to hear about.

*shrug*

LOL @ THAT.

People acted like our media talked about the troops before Michael's death. That doesn't give the networks ratings; therefore, they aren't going to talk about them. Goddamn, I thought more people understood that our media stopped being TRUE informants in the 1980s.

Oh god that is so stupid and pisses me off so much.

No fucking way is any of that shit MJ's fault and for people to imply that is just disgusting. Before his death the media didn't say shit about soldiers anyway, so it wouldn't have been any different had he not passed away.

Michael saved more lives than any single soldier
Seriously. MJ is a true fucking hero, I don't care what anyone says.

lol it's not like Michael would've wanted his death covered by the media so much. he would've wanted the exact opposite. i wonder whose fault it is? oh yeah the media. u kno, the ppl actually STILL ALIVE AND ACTUALLY DOING THESE THINGS. my word.

BECAUSE of Michael Jackson? Michael didn't ask for the headlines or ask anyone to make a media circus out of what happened. It's not like American media is in any rush to report on the troops any way. Whoever created that group is just ignorant...it just seems hateful.

Don't you get it?! This was all just a carefully crafted publicity stunt, by Michael.

Oh, Michael. The US troops said stop attention whorin'!
