I also read Tapper's Afghanistan book. In it he was very tough on the Bush administration's defense dept policies yet couldn't find even a few words to criticize Obama's, even though casualties have proportionately tripled under the latter.

Tapper may have asked relatively tougher questions than the rest of the toads in the news media but he still thinks like a liberal.

In “Lone survivor” Luttrell talked about the rules of engagement at length. Best I can remember he blamed the very restrictive ROE on the media and members of congress, which we know at the time was in Democratic hands. I seems to remember he praised GWB a time or two...can’t remember. I read LONE SURVIVOR after AMERICAN SNIPER so I don’t know if I blended the two.

Haven’t seen this, but on the whole, Tapper is one of the best, fairest of the various reporters.
