From our friends at Brave New Films:

With all the drama around General McChrystal’s resignation, the media missed the real story in the explosive Rolling Stone article: “… [W]e’re f****ing losing this thing.” –Staff Sergeant Kennith Hicks.

Administration officials are frantically trying to reassure Congress and the American people that we’re making “progress” in Afghanistan, but the Rolling Stone article makes it clear that McChrystal’s inner circle knew better. As one of his senior aides said, “If Americans pulled back and started paying attention to this war, it would become even less popular.”

For these reasons we made a video calling out what was missed by the media. Take a look at the video:
