"I don’t know what the truth is anymore."
Yes you do. You are just very much in depair as many here are on how things have gone forth for a long time.
As for Michael Yon. I go back on a series of articles he produced while attached with a Striker Unit in the Tell Afar and Mosul region of Iraq back in 2005. Where on one occasion he had to agonize over throwing his video camera on the ground and taking up the M16 a frozen soldier in a long alley way had dropped while his commanding officer was a hundred meters or so down the alley way being shot multiple times by a goon in a building in that narrow ally way.
Yon had to decide to be banned if he picked up the rifle and ran down to shoot the goon in the building or not. Yon was saved on that decision by a sargeant that responded and did what Yon comtemplated doing knowing he (Yon) would be booted out of Iraq, for breaching his contract constraints being a embedded reporter not allowed to carry or discharge a weapon.
The US commander in Afghanistan is being held hostage to Obi's BS views. It is no different then Roosevelt, Marshall and Eisenhower allowing the muzzle put on Patton or Truman dumping McArthur later on.
With that. I must hit the rack. Been a long day. Do both have a great upcoming day.

Holy crap, that was Yon? That NCO who dropped the malfunctioning weapon was my current BDE Command Sergeant Major. He ran up and beat the offending haji to death with his MICH.
