I agree with your friend. I HOPE this is what happens. If this article is any indication, this was a very wise move.

Thanks for the ping, Howlin, to this EXCELLENT article.

And thank you, Fred, for posting it.

Except for just a very few whiners, I have heard nothing but "good" from embedded reporters. Now, if we can just get these reporters into decision making positions within their respective organizations!

No society except America could have produced them.

And since much of our society is based on British customs and ways, it makes sense that the Brits, along with the Aussies, produce much the same soldier. The AngloAmerican way.

Thanks for the ping.

When two Kiowa helicopters swooped in to pulverize the enemy strongpoint with rocket fire, he turned to some journalists watching the action and quipped, "That's your tax dollars at work."

Daring, brave AND witty. Helluva combination.

Thanks again, Howlin !! This is the kind of reporting that had I hoped would come out of embedded media. These men are heroes, and this should go a long way toward countering years of bad press and worse movies.
