I just checked the Drudge Article. It sounds like the soldiers were more than willing participants because the matter they addressed is a real problem. Also, it appears these guys are not anti-mission but pro-mission and were only motivated to solve said problem.

In that case, the reporter would not be a villain but a good guy trying to do what he is supposed to do -- convey accurate info to those needing it.

He also appears to be on the side of, and trusted by, the troops he's embedded with.

You'd never hear a Marine or REAL ARMY bitching like this out of the chain of command. The National Guard have no right to do this especially when they aren't even doing the heavy lifting. It's a slap in the face to all the other soldiers doing their job in harsh conditions without complaint.

The matter they addressed has been fanned into a pseudo-problem by hysterical reporting on the part of the MSM.

Have jeeps ever been armored in any previous conflict? Have trucks ever been armored before? Did the "Red Ball Express" drive trucks with steel plate welded to the sides?
