Leave it to a blogger, who is not in his jammies, but is serving his country in Afghanistan, to do the job of journalists. My husband keeps saying that the MSM doesn't even try to understand how the army works. This explains the lack of pay receipts.

The mass media does not care to understand reserve drill status, because the reserve drill structure can not be summed up in a ten second sound bite.

For example, try explaining two multiple drills without pay for points and total points for membership.

I told my daughter tonight I had seen "without pay" in one of Bush's documents but what do I know?...

Excellent..It has long been obvious that reporters don't have a clue about the military...

1LT Bush served his country without pay. That is why there is no pay record.

My hero

Thanks for posting this .....

but is serving his country in Afghanistan,

That is just amazing, and reporters that are not serving in Afghanistan are doing what kind of research?......

Thank you both for the pings.

I wish the MSM would at least attempt to learn about the
military. Jim Angle and Major Garrett are two of the few
I've seen attempt to do so.

Good post, Merry.
Thanks!
