Here is a story that actually puts the US military in a favorable light. A US naval vessel noticed an Iranian shop adrift and altered course to rescue those Iranian sailors. Turns out they had been adrift for 10 days and were in dire straits.
This is the kinda of thing that should be getting more press. I found it
buried deep on the local rag's website. You'd think the US government
would want this story spread around like a low-fat butter substitute.

That story not being circulated, isn't a left/right issue. Maybe the US government wants a tough, reckless image, dealing with Iran. That is an attempt to make sense of it.
Oh I don't think it's neccesarily a left/right issue either. I think it's exactly what you're saying. The problem is Cowboy George doesn't seem to understand that the posturing and puffy chest is exactly why we're down to two or three allies that mean anything. Fact is, those alliances are pretty shaky right now.
Either you want to be in the global game or you don't. This administration still seems to be on the fence on that matter.
