War in Real Time
Families across America can now have easy access to the most brutal thing our modern world has to offer; the reality of war. Now matter where we live, the vicious conflict of war anytime we want or don’t want it. ... It’s come to a point where there’s no escaping the visuals and news of war. ... The mass media’s impact on the nature of war has made wartime existent in our everyday lives whether we like it or not. Not only does this truth bring the reality of war to the forefront through television and photographs, but it also causes government officials to hurry with plans for the eager media and public which is not the best choice for happenings during wartime. ... In times of war, the affect is even more astounding. The media, which includes television and newsprint, has made war more realistic on the home front. ... Immediate responses are not valid in times of war. Instead of having time to think out a strategic plan in response to a serious problem, these officials have to act out their actions in a swift manner. We, as modern Americans, have become accustomed to news in real time. ... If patience was present in our culture today a lot of the war happenings would be of no occurrence and our officials would have time to come up with solutions.
