The network news isn't showing the shot he made. They say it's too graphic. Well guess what MSM, WAR is GRAPHIC. If you can't cover it with out going into hysterics over something you don't fully understand then get out. Just don't drag our men down because you can't handle the GRAPHICS.
Seems the best route our embeds could take, and considerably more loyal to our country and our military would have been if the reporter had only reported the incident to those INSIDE the military first. HE held responsibility bound by loyalty to his country and the men at his side who had saved his life untold number of times to do that and IMO, only that, until the investigation was complete or he was given MILITARY clearance (some freedom of movement and that means the movement of information must inherently be restricted during times of war).
The reporter handled it atrociously and opportunistically. He did harm, to our country and military and created needless work for those fighting on the morale front who are trying to make sure that those men and women know that they are honored, respected and trusted.
Perhaps a new protocol will result from all of this.I maintain my position that it should have been subject to military channels of investigation first. .
Kudos to Imus, if only these vignettes of decency could be more frequent
Starting my ’campaign’ now. Thanks to all for the links.
I also agree that the reporter turned it into a story about himself...
NBC is hyping his find, and he personally appeared in the video to report this. It's one thing to report that the military is investigating this, but they framed it as a shocking NBC find.
