Commanders -N- Chiefs who sail in a US Navy ship needing another US ship to cover it's identity when sailing past her in foreign waters due to a disagreement with one of a distinguished line of heroes with that name.

Same person, standing in front of WWII hero graves in Normandy France, dissing Congressional Leaders during a speech meant to honor the heroes who were killed to preserve our freedom from tyranny.

These newscasters who feel the need to stand there looking like a complete idiot with their iPad in hand while they've stepped away from the anchor desk to report a story!

R E A L L Y ........you're more than likely reading from a teleprompter, have an earpiece that feeds you info, surrounded by a cast and crew who at least half are glued to their phones, just steps away from technology that spits out any breaking news so... WHY ON EARTH would you feel the need to have that iPad strapped to your wrist? Standing there without that silly iPad, looking distinguished, would give you far more credibility IMHO!

Do you lack trust in others OR are you trying to give us, the views, the impression of the length of you and whatever news-station you're representing their level of dedication to being totally on top of things?
