All I need to know about this guy is that because of his report more of our guys will be killed or wounded, and our position in Iraq is made worse. And he knew this.
My first reaction was: the guy needs to have an accident. I'm a Marine widow (not combat-related) and know first hand the incredible things these men do... I decided days ago that I could actually get violent with these talking heads who question our guys. Good thing they aren't in my face.
But as a former journalist for a Navy paper also, I was curious about this guy. I understand the attitude, but was a little surprised he seems so young (from photo on website). I was hoping some of the post-Vietnam attitude towards the military would be changed in my generation.
I still believe embeds are good. This guy just has an ego that can't be stopped. I think his four hour captivity gave him some kind of "god" complex.
He's just the kind of guy who'll end up beheaded because he gets too cocky...so nature will take its course.
