it's always a good idea to never believe what any military tells you. especially during a war. this is why I tend to believe the afghan story over the American military version...

The Afghan story as told by RT, the KGB network? It's nice to be critical and to think of one's self, but it's not good to be lazy and cynically dismiss everything that comes from an important source. The American military tells the truth to the American public 95 percent of the time. When it gets it wrong, it's because people aren't perfect and mistakes happen in translation. In these instances, it takes pain to get the corrected version of the truth out. I wouldn't believe it myself if I weren't in the military -- but it's true. Crosscheck what the military tells you with other, reliable sources... you'll be surprised to find they match up damn near every time.

95%? Any fact check for that figure?
