Airborne Aircrew,
".. the media over here, (with it's anti-conservative and anti-military bias)"
WHAT!!
Have you ever read a British newspaper? Ever heard of Rupert Murdoch?
Try the Daily Telegraph (known as the Torygraph), the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, or the Sun just for a start. Then see how ridiculous and wide of the mark your above statement is.
ER, you meant the US media didn't you?
Sorry.................................
