Phoenix

Burns, Episode 7 - It's all about airtime and personalization.

This episode dumps a lot of negative stuff all at once. While this episode finally has some useful facts, the spin is quite pronounced. When I see personal stories of undistinguished soldiers getting more airtime than the entire Phoenix Program, I feel like I am being played by professionals. Personal stories engage people and are remembered. Dry recitals of facts and statistics, images without stories, those things are quickly forgotten due to the lack of an emotional hook.

My address is like my shoes.
It travels with me.
I abide where there is a fight against wrong.
