Yeah... well... he can join my Cousin and Uncle. But here’s the thing! If my cousin and my Uncle were told that they’d lose their lives so that bruce jenner could prance around in a dress and pretend to be a woman... would they die for that? I know better!

A journalist’s journalist. Honest, brave, a fighter with our forces, and a nice guy. I consider it a privilege to have talked to him, esp. as a fellow journalist re Nam.

They literally don’t make them like him any more. Closest I can think of is Michael Yon (Iraq, etc), and as for reporting in general Michael Kelly (RIP, killed in a road accident after filing his last story which featured my son’s Engineering unit’s success on the Euphrates River Objective Peach Operation.

An honest, hardworking journalist, just like Joe and Michael Yon.

I'll admit, I've only seen the movie, but it is a very rare movie indeed. When I'm "channel surfing" and see it, I'll say, "Oh, I can put this on for 15 minutes until something better comes on."

I watch it through to the end every single time.
